Theology All schools promote intellectual and social development, but only the Catholic school provides for the spiritual aspect of life. Andrean’s Theology Department fulfills this need by leading the student to explore his relationship with God, the universe, his fellow man, and himself. For Freshmen, Biblical Literature traces the trials and successes of the Chosen People in the Old Testament. Sophomores study the life of Christ and the early Church in New Testament. With a firm understanding of Scripture, Juniors turn to Psychology while Seniors examine Morality and Faith and Sacraments. Such careful attention to spiritual needs results in adults who can lead mature, meaningful lives. S. Mary Anne Nemec, SS.C.M. Department Chairman, Faith and Sacraments, Psychology S.

A thorough command of English is essential to success not only in school but in society as well. Andrean’s English Department places special emphasis on developing the student’s ability to communicate in writing and to understand the major themes in literature. While the first three years stress fundamental concepts, Seniors may choose from several electives. For the first time this year, Andrean offered College Composition, a course in which students could simutaneously fulfill their fourth year English requirement and earn college credits. Those with special talents or interests may expand their studies through Journalism, Public Speaking, and Dramatics, also a new course this year. Unlike some subjects that are seldom used, English is an indispensable component of everyday life. S. Gilmary, SS.CM.
