Click to edit Master title style What is an Episcopal School: It does mean something School Worship that is creative, inclusive, draws fully upon the liturgical resources of The Episcopal Church, and is a regular part of school life for all faculty and students. Community Life , in which reflection, prayer, and matters of the spirit are honored and cultivated and the physical, mental, and emotional health of all are supported and nurtured. Religious Formation and Study that is meaningful, academically substantive, and age-appropriate; and in teaching the Christian tradition, fosters dialogue with other faith traditions. Social Justice , which is the integration of the ideals and concepts of equity, justice, and a just society throughout the life of the school; the embracing and honoring of diversity; and the inclusion of community service and service learning as an integral part of the life of the school. 6 f or of Enrollment Anne Newman Head of Lower School Judy Millerick Head of Middle School Tom Burgess Director of Marketing and Communications Lisa Robinson Director of Facilities Jared Mata Executive Assistant to Head of School/Registrar Natalie Hansen Chaplain Cameron Ayers nce and Operations Sharon Lin Director of Development Rosalind Achkar Director of Enrollment Anne Newman Head of Lower School Judy Millerick Head of Middle School Tom Burgess Director of Marketing and Communications Lisa Robinson Director of Facilities Jared Mata Executive Assistant to Head of School/Registrar Natalie Hansen Chaplain Cameron Ayers kkk dministration Head of School Khadija A.

Click to edit Master title style Our Mission The mission of Saint Andrew's Episcopal School is to offer an enriched curriculum within the tradition and values of the Episcopal Church. We aim to educate the whole student, developing as fully as possible the intellectual, spiritual, physical, and social capacities of each student. Our school’s values, philosophy, curriculum, culture, and outcomes can all be expressed in a single word - wholehearted . It captures the essence of the values shared by our faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni.

Click to edit Master title style Our Episcopal faith... is anchored in inclusivity and love as guided by the National Association of Episcopal Schools. One of its hallmarks is to celebrate the diversity of beliefs and perspectives around life’s questions, no matter one's traditions. Human reason and critical thinking in the pursuit of knowledge are valued as a means to grow deeper in our spiritual journey. Episcopal schools cultivate a strong sense of ethics and develop agents of change through all aspects of the student experience.
