Equity and Justice

Saint Andrew’s School is committed to the ongoing development of a culture that honors diversity and affirms the essential dignity of each member of our community. It is among our highest responsibilities to make our school a place that is safe and welcoming for all.

Core to OUR Foundation

We believe that the pursuit of equity and justice is core to the foundation of who we are as a school and central to our educational mission as an Episcopal School and member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools.

We seek to help young people develop cross-cultural communication skills and empathetic understanding across differences. We intend that all members of our community--faculty, staff, students, and families alike--will value civil discourse and service to others, and we hope to graduate students prepared, as their circumstances may demand, to act with moral courage.

Partnerships and Activities

The Saint Andrew’s School strategic plan showcases the school’s commitment to the principles of equity and justice as guided by our partnership with the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES).

Belonging

"Each and every day, from the moment I step on campus, I am greeted by a warm and welcoming community. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respect."

-Sophie Bogen, Upper School Student

Partnership with NAES

“Today’s Episcopal schools are populated by a rich variety of human beings from increasingly diverse dimensions of identity and religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Episcopal schools are places that affirm these differences as sources of strength that build up common life, deepen our common humanity, and enhance the intellectual, social, spiritual, and moral development of all students.”
