Academics
St. Andrew’s School Delaware academic program reflects those qualities of mind we value most: thoughtfulness, inquisitiveness, creativity and a respect for rigorous scientific inquiry. These values find expression in a sequence of requirements in the core subject areas of English, history, science, mathematics, classical and modern languages, religious studies and the arts; a commitment, particularly in the early years, to the teaching of writing, critical reasoning and scientific investigation, and a deep belief in the world’s religious, philosophical and artistic traditions as a lasting source of wisdom and hope.
Special Highlights
Technology Program. Technology plays a key role in a St. Andrew’s education. Access to the best software and hardware allows our community to research, collaborate, and learn more effectively. Access to state of the art facilities and programs allows our students to pursue a variety of academic and extracurricular interests as well as preparing them with technology skills they will need in college and beyond.
Community Service. The Community Service Program at St. Andrew’s lies at the center of the School’s commitment to encourage our students to reach out and care for others. St. Andrew’s identifies numerous opportunities for students to serve on the local, regional, and global levels. Students can participate in programs individually, as a part of teams or organizations on campus (such as the Student Vestry, musical groups or clubs), as dormitory groups, as a form or sometimes with the entire School.
