“Why students don’t want to leave historic Richmond elementary school”
WTVR delivered a nice present with a report on St. Andrew’s School:
Delivering a well-rounded education has been the mission of teachers and staff at Saint Andrew’s school for several generations. And the founder of the school has been changing students’ lives for 120 years and counting.
Each morning begins the same at St. Andrew’s School with a warm smile and or hug like clockwork.At St. Andrews on South Cherry Street, students immerse themselves in an education that is so much more than just the three “Rs.”
Teachers and staff push students to achieve greatness.
“What we do is about their social and emotional well-being as well as their academics,” second-grade teacher Kathy Tappen said. “I wish Richmonders really knew about this treasure.”
