Theodore Roosevelt once said, "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."
Developing good character is first and foremost a parental responsibility, but the task must also be shared with schools and the broader community. Saint Andrew’s believes Character Education is a fundamental piece of the PreK – Grade Eight education experience. It is during these formative years that children embrace and develop the core values, or skills for life, they will need throughout their teen and adult years.
Good character is modeled, discussed and taught during advisories, in the classroom, in chapel and all around campus. Good character is essential to be considered for membership in the National Junior Honor Society. Positive character attributes are also rewarded with consideration for the Ladd Discovery Award.
