Specials and Enrichment
Classical education is like a very large museum with many beautiful, wonder-filled rooms that could be studied over a lifetime. It is a long tradition of education that has emphasized the seeking after of truth, goodness, and beauty and the study of the liberal arts and the great books. What are the liberal arts? They are grammar, logic, rhetoric (the verbal arts of the trivium), arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy (the mathematical arts of the quadrivium).
The Liberal Arts
They are grammar, logic, rhetoric (the verbal arts of the trivium), arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy (the mathematical arts of the quadrivium).
This approach to education also includes the study of Latin. The classical approach teaches students how to learn and how to think.

Education Enhancement Activities
Activities have been developed at St. Andrew Catholic School to enhance the educational experience and further the goals and mission of the school. These activities are an important part of the school year and are often required for the students. We strongly encourage parents to support these activities by sending/encouraging students to participate, and making any arrangements necessary to allow for their attendance of activities outside of the school day (including reserving the dates with other activities your children might be involved in, such as Grandstreet, dance, etc.). This is particularly important for the Christmas programs. Students can be excused from these activities only by the Head of School, and only for serious reasons. They will still be expected to attend school when school is in session and may be required to perform a make-up activity. Some of these activities may be graded, as they are part of a class requirement.
