I'm New to the School

Building the Kingdom of God

We are a thriving Catholic school in Elk River that is expanding! We currently serve Pre-Kindergarten through grade 7. In fall 2025, eighth grade will be added in 2025 to complete the middle school addition. We have partnered with a nearby Catholic High School for those wishing to extend their Catholic education through grade 12 and beyond.


We are building the Kingdom of God, child by child, through the living witness of our faculty, staff and families. We have offered academic achievement, anchored in faith, since 1951. Our three pillars are faith, academics, and community.

How we build
Faith

We nurture students toward a lived discipleship:

  • Daily prayer and weekly Mass
  • Daily religion lessons to teach the truths of our Catholic faith, our prayers, and traditions
  • Service opportunities that reflect the Catholic Social Teachings
Academics

We challenge students to develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits needed to excel through:

  • Experienced, passionate staff members that strive to help each child identify and use their gifts
  • Rigorous curriculum materials that are up to date and reflect strong pedagogical practices
  • A wide variety of subjects including reading, math, social studies, science, health, physical education, technology, music as well as band and choir for the upper grades
Community

We create a learning environment that fosters respect, self-discipline, kindness and relationships through:

  • Purposeful cultivation by staff of lifelong relationships between staff, students and families
  • School wide focus on virtues
  • A Family Engagement Committee to connect families through fun events as well as a Faith Engagement Committee to help all school families grow in faith

Principal's Welcome

Greetings from Saint Andrew Catholic School!


I am Maria Heymans-Becker, Principal. I would like to welcome you to Saint Andrew! We are a PreK-Grade 7 school community (and in fall 2025 we will be through Grade 8)! As a new principal here, it only took me a moment to see the beauty of Catholic education that Saint Andrew has provided the Elk River area for nearly 75 years! What a blessing it has been to so many children, families, and community! I would be happy to meet with you to show you the benefits of sending your child to Saint Andrew Catholic School. Call or stop by for a visit today! God bless you and your family!


Our Mission
Maria Heymans-Becker
