中学日

中学时期, 我们期待通过为学生提供许多培养自信的机会，引导他们从依赖到独立的旅程, 必要的技能, 以及对学习的热爱. 我们的课程让学生有很多机会通过接触学者来找到生活中的平衡, 艺术, 和体育. Innovation and creative thinking are promoted as students develop the ability to collaborate, 计划, 和分析. Developing strong character and honor are also core to what we do at Saint Andrew's.

学校的一天

School hours are 8:00 am - 3:15 pm (except Wednesday; 2:15 pm dismissal). Our schedule is organized into eight blocks, with four meeting each day. 学生 are assigned to an advisory group which meets daily in the morning. 中学的课程是按“A”日和“B”日交替进行的，每个字母日每十天上五次课.

所有六年级的学生, 7, 8人选修英语, 社会研究, 一门语言(中文), 法语或西班牙语), 数学, 科学, 以及体育和健康教育. 每个学生还将选择一门表演艺术课程. In addition, students are enrolled in a semester of Design and 视觉艺术.

咨询项目

每年, students are assigned to an advisory group which is a cohort of students from the same grade level. 每个顾问团都被指派一名中学教师顾问，顾问团通常由10到14名学生组成. Advisors get to know their students well and serve as an advocate for their advisees. 父母/guardians should feel comfortable contacting their child’s advisor with questions or concerns.

顾问，教堂和集会

每周一的咨询时段, 所有学生要么与导师一起参加报到会议，要么独立完成他们选择的主题的待完成作业. They are also encouraged to bring a book for “rather be reading” time. 

周二, 学生使用咨询块参加一个集会会议，旨在解决与中学生社交情感发展相关的主题，这些主题通常建立在每周咨询课程中涵盖的主题之上. 

每周四，所有的学生都要参加礼拜堂会议. 

周五，咨询课在咨询时段进行. 这些课程将涉及的主题可能包括, 但不限于:中学迎新, 为高中做准备, 健康的关系, 来自同辈的压力, 健康的选择, 正念, 成长心态, 个人发展, 敏感性训练, 语言的力量, 社会刻板印象, 以及其他适合发展的话题. 

学生 are invited to bring snacks from home which may be eaten during the advisory block.

宗教生活

Religious life at Saint Andrew’s 中学 is firmly rooted in the Episcopal identity of the school. 作为一所主教学校, 圣安德鲁提供了一个欢迎和肯定的环境，学生可以在他们个人的信仰旅程中成长. Saint Andrew’s presents the Episcopal tradition as a model for religious experience, 同时提升其他宗教传统. 

Religious life manifests itself in three distinct, yet complementary ways:

  • 宗教课程-社会研究课程的组织鼓励与圣经相关的主题整合, 世界宗教和/或伦理  

  • Chapel - The entire 中学 dedicates time every Thursday for community worship. Chapel is the time when the customs and values of the Episcopal tradition are most clearly expressed. 所有信仰背景的学生都可以参加. 教堂的节目各不相同，经常有嘉宾演讲. 他们还加入了学校的仪式, 如荣誉勋章, 以及宗教节日的庆祝活动.

  • 牧师-牧师协调教堂和组织课外学生团体，如基督教团契和犹太论坛. The Chaplain is available to students of all faith backgrounds to support their individual spiritual needs.

BETVlCTOR

中学田径比赛有五期，大约有三十支完全由中学生组成的队伍. 而安全, 空间的限制, 球员的发展可能会限制球队的规模, 体育部及其教练决心让尽可能多的中学生运动员参与进来.

中学校际运动队通常在学习日结束时开始练习，但练习时间可能因运动而异. While most teams practice Monday through Thursday, some also include Friday. All Middle and 上学校 athletic schedules are posted on the Saint Andrew’s School website.

社区及服务

国际中学文凭课程(IB MYP)的行动部分包括为同学和更广泛的社区提供服务. 这 can be both inside and outside the classroom and school and can meet an authentic need, becoming meaningful service - working with people rather than for them. 通过这样的服务, 学生能够在个人和社会上成长, 培养协作等技能, 合作, 解决问题, 解决冲突, 以及创造性和批判性思维. 这些行为是学生展示他们对IB学习者简介属性的承诺的方式.

学生，教师和工作人员在圣安德鲁努力体现 IB学习者简介 培养成为具有国际视野的人, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the 计划et, 帮助创造一个更美好、更和平的世界. To promote these aims, the school has three expectations regarding service.  

服务学习是一种教学策略，将有意义的社区服务与指导和反思相结合，以丰富学习经验, 教导公民责任, 加强社区. 通过服务学习, young people use what they learn in the classroom to solve real-life problems. 他们不仅学习他们所学的实际应用, they become actively contributing citizens and community members through the service they perform.

咨询服务项目 

Each advisory group will adopt a service project that they will support throughout the year. 学生 will connect with the broader community with the purpose of learning, 帮助, 并支持那些需要帮助的人. 每个咨询小组将与一个地方机构建立联系, 过去的例子包括博卡援助之手, 佛罗伦萨富勒, 和梅·沃伦. 学生 will work with their advisor to 计划 a meaningful service experience. 

个人服务计划 

期望每个学生都能以某种方式为社区提供服务. 学生可以在社区中以一致的方式做志愿者，或者参与一个国际关注的问题. 他们也可以选择承担倡导的角色. Advisory teachers will assist students in identifying an area of interest for this service project.

学生有机会通过国家及社区服务公团获得总统志愿服务奖. 这个项目将促进学生和社区中其他可能有需求的人之间的联系，这些需求可以通过适合他们年龄的服务来满足. 从12月1日到11月31日，学生们有机会设定个人目标，在规定的时间内获得一定的小时数. The minimum number of hours required to earn this award is 50 hours and the additional levels are:

  • 铜奖50 - 74小时

  • 银奖75 - 99小时

  • 金奖100+小时

八年级社区项目 

为期三年的中学项目教学在八年级的一个社区项目中达到高潮，该项目培养了对不同社区需求的认识，并通过服务学习来解决这些需求. 这个社区项目让学生持续参与, 深入的调查，导致服务作为行动. 学生 will investigate, 计划, take action, and then reflect on their project. 社区项目通过咨询课程进行协调. 

实地考察旅行

整个学年, field trips away from campus are arranged as a means of enriching students’ learning experience. Field trips are considered part of the curriculum, therefore, students are expected to participate. Depending on the trip, families may be responsible for some additional costs.  

Each grade level also 计划s an overnight trip between three and four days in length. 如果要参加长途旅行，则必须与中学校长协商. 学生 who are unable to attend their grade level trip will be required to attend local, 用一日游代替过夜游. 

While students are engaged in a school-sponsored day or overnight trips, they will be viewed as ambassadors of Saint Andrew’s School; therefore, 他们被期望以一种有利于该职位的方式行事，并对学校和学生有良好的影响. 参加国内或国际实地考察, students are to understand that they are still considered a Saint Andrew’s student. 像这样, 他们必须遵守圣安德鲁中学中学手册中规定的规章制度, 包括学生行为准则和荣誉准则, 以及旅行地点的当地法律.

中学戏剧制作

Every year, the 中学 sponsors a theatre production for students from grades 6, 7, and 8. Auditions are typically held several months prior to the winter performances. While every effort is made to schedule the early rehearsals around other commitments, 在音乐剧开演前的三周内, 更密集的排练日程要求全体演员参与. 

圆形广场

圆形广场的目标是融合领导力, 学校精神, 学生之间积极的社会互动. 学生 are given many opportunities to develop and demonstrate leadership skills.  圣安德鲁圆形广场项目的理想是通过创造一种国际主义的感觉来发展每个孩子的潜力, 普遍的民主, 环保行动, 冒险精神, 以及对社区和其他地方的领导和服务. 这些指导原则旨在帮助学生做好准备，迎接在全球化世界中迎接成人的挑战.  All students have the opportunity to participate in the RSLAC Organization that meets before school.  

圆形广场会议和旅游机会 

圆形广场 often organizes a ‘Conference of the Americas’ that is hosted by one of the member schools. Occasionally, 圆形广场 students are invited to participate in an International Conference.  参与活动使我们有机会认识来自世界各地学校的学生，与他们建立有意义的联系. These connections may lead to exchange opportunities with other member schools. 通常情况下，这所学校会接待来自其他几所圆广场学校的学生，而学校也会接待圣安德鲁的学生. 在可能的情况下，圆广场学校的学生也有机会参加延长的实地考察.  

在可能的情况下, member schools of 圆形广场 invite a limited number of students to join trips that are focused on culture, 服务与冒险.  The school reciprocates by offering other schools an opportunity to join trips.  由于主机组的大小，有时机会有限.

学生领导委员会

中学生领导委员会为学生提供了成为中学生领导的机会. 成员代表他们的同学，并与教师顾问一起讨论对学生重要的话题. Members also reinforce the honor code and core messages contained in the honor pledge. 他们有机会参加学校的活动，并为《BETVlCTOR》的学生公报提供内容. Members apply and are selected by members of the administration in collaboration with the faculty advisors.
