This community strives to provide a safe and accepting environment for families of all faiths and beliefs. Through the education and worship experience of the Academy, each student will gain the knowledge of what Christians believe and practice in the Episcopal tradition.
All students receive instruction and a working understanding of the Bible, the teachings of Jesus, and the history of the Church and how it all applies to everyday life. Weekly chapel services are held in order to praise God through song, prayer, and teaching. During these worship times students are given the opportunity to hear a message from the School Chaplain, the Rector, a visiting minister, the Head of School, or a faculty member. Students are encouraged to participate in the services through drama, music, leading in prayer, or in reading of biblical texts.
Once a month, St. Andrew’s celebrates Communion in the Episcopal tradition. All baptized Christians are invited and encouraged to participate. Students who have not been baptized are encouraged to come forward to receive a blessing.
