中学: Grades 6 - 8

圣中学. 安德鲁的 is a time for self-discovery, accepting increasing independence and responsibility, and developing positive peer relationships.

At the heart of each student’s academic journey at St. 安德鲁的 is what he or she learns. The content, skills, and experiences (in-person and virtual) - that is the St. 安德鲁的课程. St. 安德鲁的 teachers are nationally recognized leaders in curriculum development because of the manner in which they use research to inform how they design each of their classes and work with each individual student, to both challenge and support him or her through their academic journey. That is why the Dean of Studies for the school is also the Director of the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning - to ensure that 100% of the Preschool through Grade 12 students, every day and every class period, are working with teachers who understand how the brain learns, 作品, 和变化.
