Our Distinct Educational Philosophy
At St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, we commit to the shared belief that good teaching inspires curiosity, that students benefit from depth of study over breadth of study, that time outdoors is time well spent, and that authentic, narrative assessments provide constructive feedback that goes beyond traditional grades and standardized tests. We recognize each student’s unique abilities and respect them as individuals, challenging and supporting them, both in the classroom and in the community. We value effective communication and self-advocacy, preparing our graduates to thrive in advanced college coursework, in their chosen careers, and in their communities.
