About St. Andrew's Day School
St. Andrew’s Day School was established in September of 1964. The school is a non-profit organization housed in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Beaumont, Texas. The Day School is self sustaining but under the umbrella of the church. All tuition and other fees are used to provide staff salaries, equipment and supplies.
St. Andrew’s Day School is fully licensed by the State of Texas. We operate our class sizes to exceed the minimum standards of child care.
We have classes five days a week, nine months a year. The Beaumont Independent School District schedule is followed both for holidays and school days cancelled due to weather conditions.
Curriculum
Independence and the ability to learning through discovery is a major goal for each child. Play is a major vehicle for learning. Since children learn by doing, many opportunities are given through thematic units (from the Mailbox Curriculum, Frog Street Press, Quirkles, Steve Spangler Science, Creations Bible Stories, Bible Stories About Jesus and Teaching Memory Verses) with focus on science, cooking, motor skills, math, art, reading readiness and writing skills. In addition to regular classroom activities, we have music, computer and chapel.
The purpose of St. Andrew's Day School is to help your child learn in a happy, Christian atmosphere, and to grow in these ways:
- to grow emotionally- to learn to get rid of tensions and hostilties in an acceptable manner and to feel accepted himself by his teachers and peers.
- to grow socially - to learn to be thoughtful and to adjust to the group.
- to grow mentally - by stimulating his curiosity and imagination by encouraging him to think and solve problems, by developing laguage skills at his own rate of speed.
- to grow physically - acquiring motor coordination through the use of proper play equipment, learning to control muscles and make them do what he wants them to, learning good habits.
to grow spiritually- the religious trainging we provide is informal and non-sectarian through the teachers attitudes and the atmosphere established in the classroom, the child appreciates God's world and learns to identify himself as part of God's people.
