Our curriculum is designed to
prepare students to move successfully into excellent
secondary schools. Andrews emphasizes basic academic
skills — mathematics, reading, writing,
spelling, grammar, science, and social studies
— while maintaining a broad range of specialized
programs in the disciplines of art, computer science,
library, music, Spanish, physical education, and
performing arts.
 Individual
Growth
Assemblies are an integral part of the school
program. Each assembly is child-oriented and designed
to allow students to share a portion of their
experiences from prior weeks with the entire student
body. Poise, self reliance, and confidence are
considered essential ingredients in the maturation
process.
Physical
Growth
In order to accomplish the objectives of physical
development, we offer a well rounded Physical
Education program with the following specific
aims: to develop positive health habits, to develop
citizenship and the worthy use of leisure time,
to develop sportsmanship and a sense of fairness
by healthy competition, and to develop respect
for others and cooperation through team play.
