About Us

The DEANS has committed to hiring 6 credentialed teachers for the school year in order to provide the best learning experience possible for the students of Andersen. Approximately 80% of the money raised by the DEANS goes to hiring these teachers and we do everything in our power to bring the best possible teachers to Andersen.

We believe we are on the forefront with this idea by providing our students with a “think tank” which is in essence a computer lounge. This room will allow our children to work on their chromebooks in a comfortable and suitable environment to best fit their learning needs. We have equipped this room and the teachers with the environment and tools they need to stay on the cutting edge of technology use in an academic setting.

Our children have access to some of the best technology and state-of-the-art equipment in the country.  This includes 3D printing, green screen technology and a broadcasting studio to encourage the students to reach their imaginative and creative potential. Andersen is one of the only public schools in the state to benefit from this type of technology.

DEANS are continuing to support after-school enrichment programs for the students of Andersen.  If you feel that there is an activity or resource that you would like to see at Andersen, please do not hesitate to let us know.  In conjunction with PTA, we plan to expand the after-school programs at Andersen in the very near future.

Children today are exposed to more pressures and stresses than we experienced in our youth. It is DEANs mission to help bring an understanding and awareness to help develop a healthy emotional and mental state of mind for our children. Continuing what we started a few years ago, DEANs and PTA will provide Andersen with a speaker series featuring Dr. Jerry Weichman, a renowned clinical psychologist and adolescent specialist. He will discuss with students the issues they are dealing with and make it fun and interesting for them at the same time. The lower grades will focus on social issues (i.e. making friends, bullying, etc.). The upper grades will focus on everyday pressures (i.e. social media, peer pressure, etc.). He also works directly with the faculty to ensure they understand the issues facing our children and most importantly, give them the tools to help.
