St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic School students arrive each day for class with an abundance of curiosity and the desire to learn.  Faculty and staff greet them with open arms, excited to share in the cultivation of lifelong learning.  Students are guided to take responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to be intellectually curious and independent.

Religion

Our daily religion program focuses on our Catholic heritage and provides prayer experiences in class and through liturgical celebrations. Instilling Catholic values is the primary mission of our program. This mission is accomplished through instruction in Scripture, doctrine, morality, sacraments, and family life. Community service is an important part of our outreach ministry.

Language Arts

Students are engaged in Reader's and Writer's Workshop through a strong belief in balanced literacy. Our reading curriculum is aligned with the Louisiana State Standards and supported through the distinguished  Tier I Learnzillion reading curriculum. All students are taught a true love of reading while building fluency and comprehension through rich engagement with authentic texts.  

Mathematics

Mathematicians across the campus of St. Andrew are engaged in deep thinking centered around strong number sense, computation, and problem-solving. St. Andrew the Apostle has adopted the Eureka Math Program. This program is a Louisiana Department of Education Tier I supported program. Each day students analyze data, work with math manipulatives to problem solve, and build a deeper understanding of numbers. 

Science

Our science series, complying with both state and national standards and benchmarks, strives to achieve an integrated program including life, earth, physical, and environmental science with a hands-on focus.

Social Studies

The students are provided with knowledge and skills to enable them to live in today’s society with an understanding that history is an ongoing process. At each grade level, teachers develop an integrated program using a thematic approach.
