St. Andrew's Country Day School...

Serves students in Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade. The school has continually placed its educational emphasis on cultivating all aspects of a child's development, including religious, academic, social, emotional, and physical areas.

This is accomplished in a Christian atmosphere characterized by human dignity, respectfulness, creativity, acceptance, understanding, and high ethical and moral standards.

Respect, responsibility and resourcefulness are fostered throughout the school by staff, whose goal it is to teach values by example. The students will grow in their awareness of the world in which they live and of each one's role in that world.

Mission


Mission Statement

The educational goals for St. Andrew's Country Day School are based upon a total commitment by the home, school and student. Our educational goals are based upon the skills, knowledge and attitudes considered essential for our students to become contributing members of society.

It is our intent to offer an educational environment in which each student develops Catholic ideals and also acquires an education commensurate with his/her individual interests, needs and abilities. This will be accomplished in a Christian atmosphere characterized by humaneness, respectfulness, creativity, acceptance, total understanding and high ethical and moral standards.

Philosophy

The philosophy of St. Andrew's Country Day School is structured basically on the following principles:

  •  a solid and in depth course of religious and spiritual training
  •  an up-to-date and constant approach to scholastic development and achievement
  •  remedial instruction in reading and mathematics in order to make possible every child's achievement
  •  wholesome, firm discipline in class and in all activities of the school
  •  a highly developed extra-curricular program of culture and athletic activities, closely coordinated with, and contingent upon, the spiritual, scholastic and behavioral development of the student

School Pledge

Students at St. Andrew's know “The Way to Bee”

”I am a St. Andrew's student. I know the way to be. I am responsible. I am respectful. I am safe and caring.” This pledge is recited each morning in every classroom, Pre-K to Eighth Grade. It is only one part of a school wide, positive behavior plan that was started in September. During the first week of school, all the students traveled around the school, using a Passport to Success. They learned how to be responsible, respectful, safe, and caring in the hallways, lavatories, cafeteria, at church and assemblies, and before and after school. Now, whenever a student is demonstrating the “Way to Bee”, they are given a “honey gram.” These honey grams are collected in the homerooms for school wide, weekly and monthly prizes and recognitions. 

Come visit St. Andrew's and see for yourself. We have the greatest students who truly know the way to “Bee”.

 

Student Life

After School Program

Our after school program is staffed by qualified St. Andrews employees and was designed to provide an engaging environment with plenty of activities for our students.

Our staff tries to ensure that homework is completed before your child is picked up to go home...we hope that this will allow you to spend a little more quality time together, rather than trying to get the homework completed.
