THE ST. ANDREW’S SCHOOLS

T

he St. Andrew’s Schools is an Episcopal School comprised of three schools, the Queen Emma Preschool, The Priory, K-12 college-prep school for girls, and The Prep, a K-5 school for boys. Girls and boys learn very differently and The Prep and The Priory embrace those differences by offering separate classrooms that facilitate unique styles of teaching appropriate for each gender. The Priory has embodied this philosophy for girls for 147 years and now will strive to ďŹ ll this need for young boys. The St. Andrew’s Prep was founded in response to families looking for a tailored education for their boys that will help them achieve; the research is clear that single-gender learning provides both girls and boys an enhanced learning environment speciďŹ c to their learning styles. Since 1867, The Priory has earned a reputation as one of Hawai‘i’s premier college-preparatory schools for girls, graduating conďŹ dent, articulate women who make valuable contributions at home and around the world. The St. Andrew’s Schools continues its leadership in differentiated instruction to address one of the growing challenges facing America today: the education of boys. Traditional learning models can leave boys behind if their learning needs are not considered. The Prep classes are designed for boys in keeping with how they learn based on current research and best practice. The St. Andrew’s Schools: The Priory School for Girls, The Prep School for Boys, and Queen Emma PreSchool.
