The central goal of Catholic Schools is to form disciples by providing students, parents, and staff with opportunities to learn and live their Catholic faith. Our Catholic Identity is what sets us apart. The foundation for our Cathlic Identity comes from the command of Jesus: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations" - Matthew 28:19.

We recognize that Christ is the unseen yet ever-present teacher in our classrooms at Saint Andrew. With Him as our model, we work together to provide students with experiences and opportunities to know and experience the real presence of God each day. As disciples we must follow the teachings and example of Jesus.

The foundation of an active faith life should begin at an early age. Saint Andrew Catholic School nurtures this through Weekly Mass, daily prayer and religion classes, adoration, faith formation, and classroom visits from Priests and Deacons.

Spiritual growth is an integral part of all instruction. Whether in math class, social studies, or religion class, Catholic ideals permeate student instruction. Instruction in the Catholic faith would not be complete without teaching our students to live their faith in their everyday lives.

Students are encouraged to share their gifts and talents to serve others. Saint Andrew Parish encourages our students to serve their faith community as:

• Altar Servers (4th - 8th Grade)
• Hospitality Ministers (5th - 8th Grade)
• Lectors (6th - 8th Grade)
• Choir Members (Preschool - 8th)
