St. Andrew the Apostle

Mission

St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic School is an educational ministry of St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Parish. Our mission is to provide a quality education grounded in Catholic principles and values. We strive to instill in each student a lifelong love of learning and a respect for each person and all creation as gifts from God.

Philosophy

St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic School recognizes the parents as the primary educators of their children. We strive to complement the role of the family in promoting in our students a sense of responsibility for life, for others and for our world. As facilitators of student learning, the faculty and staff strive to develop the best qualities in each student, recognizing each student’s uniqueness and developing their God-given talents. We endeavor to accomplish this by working together—parents, faculty, staff and the faith community—to educate the whole child: spiritually, academically, artistically, socially and physically. St Andrew the Apostle Catholic School is a faith community where Catholic values permeate all aspects of living and learning.

TESTIMONIALS

Our family is proud and grateful to be members of St. Andrew the Apostle parish and school. 
 
From our dynamic priests and our growing parish to the halls of our flourishing school, St. Andrew’s is an important part of our children’s lives and our family.  We deeply appreciate how St. Andrew’s curriculum fosters the growth of the mind, body and spirit of our children. 
 
We feel at home in the community that our school provides not just for the students, but our families. The teachers, staff and leadership are innovative, faithful, and committed.  We’ve been blessed to be a part of St. Andrew’s since 2013, and have witnessed the continual growth and advancements made in areas such as science, technology and math, as well as the continued integration of our Catholic faith throughout the curriculum.   We’re excited what the future has in store for our children at St. Andrew’s and for all of our students and families.

Our children’s first year at St. Andrew’s School was one of great transition, and our prayer was for having helping hands along this path. The faculty and staff met us where we were at, answered our questions and made us feel welcome. The children’s teachers were invested and absolutely helped them each grow tremendously throughout the year. Prayers answered and we are looking forward to the kids being Guardians again next year!

While parish searching as newlyweds, we attended Mass at St. Andrew’s. Without much hesitation, we knew we were home. The great faith that is fostered and practiced here is unlike any other.  We’ve been blessed to have our children baptized here, and now attending the parish school. We’re thankful to be part of this community.

We Love St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic School because of its Christ-Centered Environment, most notably Weekly Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, and Classroom Devotionals like the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Our School provides students with a Structured Environment well-suited for Learning, Creating, Playing, and Discovering God. There is also a sense of community/partnership between teachers, students, parents, staff, and parishioners to help one another cultivate individual and collective God-Given Gifts, build-up God's Kingdom, and grow in Our Faith together.

The entire staff and leadership are very involved and committed to the academic, spiritual, physical, and mental development of each and every student.  We are extremely satisfied with the much needed, well rounded, supportive, faith filled environment we have been privileged to raise our children in.

We joined St. Andrew's Parish to be spiritually fed by the true teachings of the Catholic Church. St. Andrew has loving clergy, dedicated staff, and faithful laity. We believe in Catholic education and faith formation for our son. St Andrew's school provides an environment that gives him a good moral and virtuous base as he grows.
Since we have been members of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish and School, we have been supported in times of major events and in everyday life by loving and compassionate souls.  We look forward to Mass and the inspiration provided by Fr. Rogers and Fr. Schneider as we continue to grow in our faith. We have seen the school blossom with changes to the middle school programs to include the Tucker Leadership program and expansion of the science lab.  We have watched our daughter’s passion for math and science grow and have been impressed with the faith-based learning in every aspect of academic life at St. Andrew.  St. Andrew prepares our child for well-rounded success in service, leadership, and academics.  
The leadership at St. Andrew continually seeks out feedback to assist with finding positive solutions to fit the needs specific to our parish.  We are extremely appreciative of the priests, staff, and the parishioners. St. Andrew has been and continues to be a blessing to and an extension of our family.

Our children grow in their faith and spiritual relationship with Jesus through Catechism classes, the weekly all school mass, and in preparing and receiving the Sacraments.  Our children gain a deeper understanding of the holidays such as Christmas and Easter from a religious perspective rather than a commercial, perspective and are introduced to special feast days and saints. 
We feel confident that our children are getting both a high quality religious and academic education. I really enjoy being able to walk my children in to school each morning and give them a hug and kiss. It’s the best part of my day.   Our kids are greeted at the door by the Principal every morning, the class sizes are small, and the teachers often showcase their skills in extracurricular activities such as chess club and math club.
The teachers are accessible and there is rapid and transparent communication for changes in the daily school schedule, parking, and pickup. We feel blessed to have a parish with a strong commitment to faith, reverence and education.
