Making Connections LEARNING

Learning – ‘The Spirit of Inquiry’

Learning is the primary purpose of the College, and as such the seeking of knowledge, reason, wisdom and truth is core to a St Andrews Education. We believe the joy and challenge of ongoing learning is fundamental to life, and encourage inquiry and curiosity. Each member of our community is charged with the responsibility to learn to their fullest potential, and is called to be a lifelong learner.

Proverbs 1:5 – ‘Let the wise hear and increase in learning’
