Three Things We Highlight

What Makes This School Stand Out Saint Edward's.

No brochure promises — the photos on this page come straight from the school and show real everyday life.

College Prep

The road to college starts in grade 8.

College counseling starts earlier here than almost anywhere — with results: over 95 percent of graduates are accepted to their first- or second-choice university, including Duke, Columbia and Vanderbilt.

Small classes, Harkness discussions around the table and STEAM labs — SAT and AP results sit well above the state average.

Waterfront Campus

26 acres between lagoon and Atlantic.

The campus sits right on the Indian River Lagoon — students wade into the water for biology class, kayak through the ecosystem and meet dolphins and manatees along the way.

Add the Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts and the Becker Aquatics Center — a campus that feels like a college.

Pirate Life

Tradition that holds together.

Since 1965, Saint Edward's has combined academic rigor with character education in the Episcopal tradition — values, service and community are part of the schedule. From homecoming to equestrian: a school life that includes everyone.

Our Promise

Why SIDO and This School.

Finding this school on your own is doable. But choosing the right one of four accredited options, lining up a vetted host family, navigating the visa, and having someone on the ground in Florida who can be there within an hour — that's what SIDO offers. We know every principal of every partner school personally. If your child has a problem, we're not at a desk in Germany — we're in Vero Beach. In person or on the phone, whichever helps.

Before the Call

Frequently Asked Questions

Which visa do I need for this school?
For private and prep schools like this one, the program runs on the F-1 student visa. The school issues the I-20; SIDO walks you through the visa application from initial power of attorney to the embassy appointment.
Where will my child live during the stay?
With a host family in Vero Beach or close by, personally vetted by SIDO. The family is matched to your child — not randomly assigned.
What does a full school year at this school with SIDO cost in total?
Total cost depends on school type and program length. A transparent breakdown of every cost component — what's included and which additional expenses are realistic — is on the Costs page.
How does the application process work?
First step: a free 30-minute conversation about whether this school, another partner, or another state would be the better fit. Then the formal application, which we fill out together. The school usually responds within two to four weeks.
