Exploring Purpose & Passion

Building Confidence Beyond the Classroom

We inspire students to expand their capacity beyond the classroom, encouraging them to explore their purpose and passion through expansive co-curricular opportunities that promote holistic growth and embody the school’s mission of “developing the complete man, the well-rounded citizen.”

Our Promise to Develop the Complete Man

Ignite Passion:

Spark our students’ curiosity, ignite their passion, and unleash their imagination through comprehensive co-curricular activities to enhance personal development. View the co-curricular and athletic programs as extensions of the academic program and, through these programs, provide students opportunities to explore their interests, discover new talents, and build confidence. By engaging in diverse activities, students discover new interests and passions that spark new dreams.

Expand Learning Horizons:

Expand the horizons of our students’ educational journey by offering diverse experiential learning activities. Place renewed focus on providing hands-on experiences beyond traditional classroom instruction, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. Enriching our program with innovative, interactive opportunities allows students to explore new interests, develop life skills, and better understand the world around them.

Broaden Perspectives:

Provide activities that open our students’ minds to diverse perspectives and global experiences. Through carefully curated programs, we inspire students to think beyond their immediate surroundings to understand different cultures, ideas, and viewpoints. Our commitment to broadening their horizons ensures students develop an inclusive mindset, preparing them to empathize with those around them.

Support Holistic Growth:

Continually reassess the schedule to find opportunities between St. Andrew's and St. Anne's for students to explore and nurture their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being. By structuring a schedule that balances learning with co-curricular activities and wellness practices, we create an environment where students can explore their passions, build resilience, and navigate life with confidence and joy.

Foster Healthy Relationships:

Our partnership with St. Anne’s School fosters authentic, healthy relationships in an environment that champions exploration and self-discovery. By designing and implementing programming that encourages meaningful connections, we create a supportive community where students from both schools can thrive. These relationships are the foundation upon which students can explore their passions, understand their purpose, and develop the resilience and empathy needed to navigate a complex world.
