The environment is an important part of the education and is always attractive and orderly. In a stimulating and happy atmosphere the children progress quickly and independence is encouraged.
Many of the children have attended our Montessori Nursery or other Montessori Nurseries prior to joining us and the parents have chosen St Andrews as they wish their children to continue with the successful head start they have received.
An early foundation to the three R's is given in the reception class where a variety of other subjects are offered e.g. French, music and movement, piano lessons, lives of artists and musicians, and art.
Science, History and Geography are introduced as projects.
Our aim is to open as many doors as possible to the children so that they can start their journey of discovery in these areas.
