ADMISSIONS
Age 3 - 8th Grade
Admissions Overview
At St. Andrew’s, our purpose is to empower your child to strive in every aspect of their lives. Since 1951, our school has been providing opportunities for children to excel as individuals through academics, service, and faith.
The backbone of our experience is our community. Relationships matter here. How we treat each other matters. Being a part of the St. Andrew’s family means no child will ever have to walk alone during the triumphs and challenges of their youth.
Small class sizes with a unique, hands-on curriculum give our students the personalized attention and sense of community they need to make their education worthwhile. We will not define a child’s learning by mandated curriculum or state testing. We transform children’s lives by meeting them where they are in their learning. An extensive array of activities - from service learning to athletics - keep our students engaged and excited about their learning.
St. Andrew’s is a joyful place to be. Our Admissions department encourages you to visit our campus and experience the extraordinary culture of St. Andrew’s firsthand. Thank you for considering St. Andrew’s. We cannot wait to meet you!
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School admits qualified students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin or religion to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to its students. The School does not discriminate in any of its educational, admission, or financial aid policies and programs.

Teacher support for academic concerns related to students on an individualized basis.
Parent support for academic concerns or questions about their child’s academic growth.
Ongoing communication with families, staff, and community to ensure use of best practices in meeting the needs of diverse learners.
Processes and procedures to address academic concerns including observations, progress monitoring, interventions, and recommendations for formal testing needed.
Referral sources in formal evaluation, interventions, and resources needed.
Cohesive team meetings involving parents, teachers, Academic Support staff, SAES administration, and other related service providers to support individual student’s academic growth.
Collaboration with other related professionals in our community to build a strong support network for our school, students, and families.
