The School's commitment is to the education of the whole student in mind, body and spirit. Of great importance are mental and physical health and well-being and the spiritual, moral and ethical development of our young people. The curriculum and diploma requirements for Saint Andrew's students are designed to assure a mastery of content areas and the enhancement of various learning skills. Skill development is emphasized in writing, language, mathematics, and academic research. Extensive diploma requirements in the traditional disciplines of English, foreign language, history, mathematics, and science are augmented through coursework in computer science, visual and performing arts, theology, life skills, and public speaking.
Writing is emphasized across the curriculum.
In addition, Saint Andrew's offers sixteen courses which are designed to meet the stringent curricular guidelines of the College Board's Advanced Placement Program. The rigor of our traditional academic program challenges students' intellectual capabilities as they acquire knowledge essential for success in college and beyond. At Saint Andrew's School, fifteen is the average class size. Because of the small classes, the teachers know their students well and can be particularly responsive to their stengths and needs. Students carry a minimum of five courses each semester.
