St. Andrew's has been a wonderful school for my three children. It has not only given them an excellent academic education, but has instilled in them the importance of service to community. With their diversity of student body and their wonderful Global Studies program, it has also given my children a sense that they are a part of a larger global community. I especially love that my children have had wonderful teachers who have cared about them individually and taught them the importance of advocating for themselves.
