Welcome to Andersen Elementary School
Andersen Elementary School is located on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, "Where America's Day Begins. On September 29, 1997, DoDEA Americas opened a new school to 1500 students in grades K-8. The school was separated into elementary and middle schools in 1998. The community shares the responsibility for building the academic success of each student.
CSI at Andersen Elementary School
The Blueprint for Continuous Improvement is DoDEA’s strategic plan for school years 2018/19 through 2023/24. The title reflects the philosophy that drives DoDEA’s strategic direction. A blueprint is an actionable plan that communicates and guides the work of all involved in a project. It is flexible and can be updated as the project develops and needs change. This is also true of our Blueprint, which serves as the foundation for all planning within DoDEA and directs our collective energies and resources as we strive to realize our vision. Further, the Blueprint will be continuously updated to reflect progress and shifts in students’ needs and the environment.
