Saint Andrew’s character education program fosters essential values by focusing on one character trait each month. Through guided discovery, engaging picture books, weekly community meeting, and meaningful reflection, students build a deeper understanding of each trait and how it applies to their daily lives. This intentional approach helps nurture a positive school culture and supports students in becoming respectful, responsible, and compassionate individuals.

 

TEAM HERONS

• Teachable

• Eager

• Mindful

Social-Emotional Learning

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is integrated through dedicated classroom instruction by the school counselor on a weekly or monthly basis. Using videos, discussions, and interactive activities, students develop key skills such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, and positive relationship-building. This comprehensive approach equips students with the tools to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and foster a supportive school community.
