Theology The adolescent years are a time of rapid personal development. While most high schools guide the student ' s intellectual and social growth, Andrean, through its Theology Department, endeavors also to nurture the student ' s spiritual life. Freshmen explore the Old Testament foundations of their faith in Biblical Literature. For Sophomores, New Testament examines the life of Christ and the history of the early Church. With a firm knowledge of Biblical concepts, Juniors and Seniors through Psychology, Morality, and Faith and Sacraments, deepen their understanding of themselves, their faith in God, and their ability to respond maturely to His love. Ultimately, Andrean ' s Theology Department seeks to bring every student closer to his life ' s goal. TOP: Sister Paul plays the prophet by proclaiming Amos to her Bibik al l iterature c lass.

English A tool that one uses often must be used well. Andrean ' s English Department trains students to use a most important tool effectively — their language. Through a four-year program, students acquire and sharpen composition skills and their ability to perceive the major themes of literature. With a solid foundation of fundamental concepts, Seniors may choose from several electives, including College Composition, a course in which they c an fulfill their fourth-year English requirement and earn college credit, journalism, Public Speaking, and Dramatics provide lurther areas of stuciy for interested students. The English Department gives students the key which c an unlock the doors to all other areas of academic endeavor — and to life.
