At St. Andrew’s School we believe every child deserves an education that equips them to thrive. In 1894, founder Grace Arents was confident in her belief that a solid education was essential in preparing children to build successful lives as adults. Now 125 years later the school continues to be guided by that founding principle, educating children academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually through a whole-child approach. Rooted in today’s best practices, our student-centered academic program is designed to develop passionate, lifelong learners. Children learn more deeply when they make their own connections through hands-on experiences and student-led questioning; this is the cornerstone of our model.
Mission Statement | The mission of St. Andrew’s School is to transform lives by providing quality, progressive education to children from families with limited financial resources through a full scholarship for every child. |
