历史 & 圣公会的传统

作为一所遵循圣公会传统的独立学校, 圣安德鲁的 was founded in 1961 and affiliated with the Episcopal church expressly to “fit and prepare students morally, 精神上, 精神上, 在高中接受高等教育, 大学, 和大学…….“为了完成这一使命, 圣安德鲁的 School has evolved into a community of learners where academic excellence is achieved in a warm and caring environment, 我们把荣誉看得高于一切, and where the spiritual dimension of life is expressed in a rich variety of ways that continuously challenge all members to seek and find the best of the human spirit in themselves and others. 

“圣公会”这个词让人想起基督教社区的一个教派. 然而，圣公会学校超越了单一教派. Schools in the Episcopal tradition embrace religious pluralism and encourage dialogue with other faith traditions. 作为一所遵循圣公会传统的独立学校, 圣安德鲁不是一个教区或教区学校, yet is an embodiment of the kind of education traditionally and historically fostered by the Episcopal Church based on three pillars: excellent academics, including character education; personal 和精神ual development; and involvement in the world. 

 Chapel is a community gathering organized by division, Lower, Middle, and Upper. Chapels are held once a week and attendance is required of all students and 教师. 牧师们以包容性的方式规划教堂项目, 创造力, and 适龄ness in mind to add to the richness of the students’ educational experience at 圣安德鲁的. Worship is central to Chapel and is celebrated with sensitivity and appreciation of the religious diversity present on campus. Chapel begins with a procession and continues with hymns, prayer, and Biblical readings. 祈祷者使用基督教和非基督教的语言, 公祷书, and special holiday services in other faith traditions are important expressions of 圣安德鲁的 Episcopal identity experienced through our Chapel programs. Chapel is the one place where the entire community can join together in times of joy, 疼痛, 悲伤, 庆祝和分享人类经历的辛酸. It is no surprise that over the years Chapel is remembered fondly by many alumni as a highlight of their 圣安德鲁的 experience. 如果你想进一步讨论这些话题, 或者如果你有问题没有在这里回答, 请随时拨打561与招生办联系.210.2020.

圣公会学校以卓越的教育而闻名. 作为基督教信仰的化身, 他们在基督里以各人事奉神, 无论出身如何, background, 能力, or religion and “strive for justice and peace among all people and [to] respect the dignity of every human being.” 这 intentional pluralism is also a distinguishing hallmark of Episcopal schools. 基于我们对使命的日常追求, 圣安德鲁的 provides an excellent academic and educational experience centered on the development of the whole child in mind, body, 和精神. 按照圣公会学校的传统, 圣安德鲁的存在不仅仅是为了教育, but also to honor and celebrate the unique worth of all human beings as creations of a loving God. We express this ideal through worship that is creative and inclusive; community life that is warm, nurturing and inviting; involvement in the world that cultivates the ideal of a just society; religious formation and study of moral and ethical decision-making that are meaningful, 适龄, and - in the Judeo-Christian tradition - foster dialogue with other faith traditions. 圣安德鲁的 School’s mission and vision are built on spiritual principles that guide and challenge all who attend to build lives of genuine meaning, 目的, 并在他们将继承的世界上做出贡献.

No. 圣安德鲁的, 以及许多圣公会学校, 学生和教师是否来自各种各样的宗教, 文化和经济背景. In fact, the intentional pluralism of most Episcopal schools is a hallmark of their mission. 这种多元化也适用于圣安德鲁. Nationally, 74% of students attending Episcopal schools are other than Episcopalian. 很多人都不是基督徒. It is also a distinguishing characteristic of 圣安德鲁的 that we seek to integrate religious 和精神ual formation into the overall curriculum and life of the school community. 圣安德鲁很清楚, 然而,优雅, 伟德国际我们如何表达和表达我们的基本身份, 尤其是在宗教课程和传统中. 圣安德鲁的 invites all who attend and work here - Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians, 基督徒和非基督徒, people of no faith tradition - both to explore their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives.
