We are truly an all-embracing community with respect for diversity and individuality. We strive to display this core value in all we do. In addition to an open invitation to our families to share in the life of the parish we have a chapel service once a week for the Early Childhood (3-5 year old) class. The toddler classes incorporate gratitude and compassion in their daily life.
As an Episcopal Montessori program we hold a global perspective. The philosophies of the Episcopal Church St. Andrews Episcopal Church and Montessori education are all-embracing. When working with very young children the religious life of our school is not based in instruction in the Episcopal faith but rather the exposure to the rituals and values of this faith that are appropriate at this age.
We also provide daily models of service including good stewardship and care for others throughout the day. Children are not allowed to do anything that will harm themselves others or the environment. Children are allowed to express themselves freely to express their feelings and to explore their world in the ways that interest and call to them. These freedoms are limited by the freedom of others to do the same. There is the development of a sense of empathy a love of neighbor and an equal encouragement of a respect for oneself. This is a statement about love of and respect for all that God has created.
