Building in Faith - Every Friday or Monday, our teachers lead their students in faith
sharing, using the Sunday Gospel. Parents can help their children by
discussing the Gospel and homily after Mass each Sunday.

Building in Hearts
- We need to be aware of and responsive to others and their
needs - a very Christian attitude!
|
|
Building in Minds - ITBS (nationally
standardized tests) show our students' average
scores in the top 10-15% of the nation. These strong scores reflect the
consistent and dedicated efforts of all: students, teachers and parents. The
priority put on academics at home and school is a clear message to the students
and helps them set high goals for themselves.

Building Stewardship -
In addition to a vital Home & School Association, several booster clubs support school activities: the
Athletic Booster Club, the Patrons of the Arts, and the Environmental
Preservation Club. Interested parents, parishioners and friends are invited to
participate in these organizations. Contributions to the School Endowment
Fund and to our 'Catch a Rising Star' scholarship fund directly help students
and their families afford a Catholic education. Programs for our
students have also been supported by donations from the Council of
Catholic Women, the Knights of
Columbus and grants from the Southwest Florida and Cape Coral Foundations. |

Our
school mascot is 'SUPERSTAR,'
who helps keep us focused on the unique
qualities and gifts each student, teacher, staff person and parent brings to the
school community. We are all called to use our gifts to 'build the Kingdom of
God' as our mission is to 'build in faith, in hearts, and in minds.' |

At St. Andrew School, we use the
Love and Logic
approach to
raising children. Teachers, staff and parents explore, discuss and apply
Love and Logic principles. To register for upcoming parent classes, visit our
Guidance page. To find out more about this positive
and loving way to help children become more responsible and learn from their
mistakes, visit the Love and Logic website.
