The Five C’s at<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Andrew’s<br />

During the 2011-12 school year,<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Andrew’s faculty identifi ed and<br />

introduced the fi ve C’s:<br />

• collaboration<br />

• creativity<br />

• critical thinking<br />

• communication<br />

• character<br />

Universities and employers have<br />

recognized these concepts as the keys<br />

to success for young people.<br />

In an effort to effectively incorporate<br />

the fi ve C’s into the curriculum, we<br />

have increased outdoor classroom<br />

space, created more collaborative<br />

work areas in the buildings, refocused<br />

professional development,<br />

incorporated a formal bullying<br />

prevention program and much more.<br />

I use the C of creativity in all my subjects. I want<br />

to think creatively to make all my work unique<br />

and really be my own.<br />

relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new<br />

ideas, forms, methods, interpretations<br />
