What We Expect From Families

A Catholic and classical education is uncommon in the United States and, thus, a precious gift to a child. As such, our school performs at its best when all enrolled families embrace and champion the Catholic and classical identity, as well as its mission inside and outside of the classroom.

• While not all families and students are Catholic, everyone fully participates in and supports the Catholic curriculum taught in classes as well as scheduled Mass and chapel events (as appropriate). Catholic families are strongly encouraged to attend weekly Mass at the Catholic church of their choice. Other Christian families are encouraged to regularly attend their church of choice. Non-Catholic families/students do not participate in the sacraments of the Catholic church, but are still expected to participate in the other aspects of Mass and chapel.
• Everyone at St. Andrew is encouraged to embrace classical learning at school and at home. A love of classical literature is nurtured in homes where quality books and periodicals are readily available and reading is a natural part of family life.
• Parents are their child’s first and primary educator. Parents ensure their child is prepared for the classroom and able to self-regulate (age appropriately) and participate in learning so as not to disrupt classroom progress. Parents support teacher efforts to lovingly and professionally help students develop virtue and character.
