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.

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.
