SAES - Harvard Faculty Study Garnering Media Interest

A few months ago, St. Andrew’s completed a research study with faculty members of Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. This study, the first of its kind, showed that happiness plays a critical role in learning. Now, the study is beginning to gain a higher profile. Just this week, the Harvard Gazette featured a piece on the study, which affirms the long-held belief by St. Andrew’s teachers and administrators – that you don’t have to be miserable to get a good education.
In fact, quite the opposite is true. That's why St. Andrew’s intentionality when it comes to keeping students challenged with a rigorous academic program yet also happy and engaged thanks to a dedicated faculty is so critical to preparing our students for college and life.
