Curriculum Maps

 

St. Andrew's curriculum maps provide important insight into what goes into each teacher's thinking about designing their classes and demonstrate how we prepare students for every step of their academic journey. Each map allows us to better understand the integration of key objectives across divisions and grade levels.

These initiatives include:


  • Brain-Based Teaching and Learning,

  • Multicultural Education,

  • Service Learning,

  • Character & Identity Formation (reflecting our school's Episcopal values).

    • We believe that living, learning and teaching these goals and values in our everyday curriculum is essential to educational excellence. We believe that our determination and ability to base our teaching on how students actually learn are distinctive strengths of St. Andrew's.

Any questions about curriculum mapping at St. Andrew's can be addressed to Glenn Whitman, Dean of Studies, at gwhitman@saes.org.
