My son joined Saint Andrews in 6th Grade after shadowing at a number of very nice schools. He chose Saint Andrews over the other schools because he felt he clicked with the kids, and because he enjoyed the academics, and felt they were challenging. The school has completely met his expectations and mine.

The academics are rigorous and challenging, but not 'pressure cooker'. Teachers and staff are very professional, passionate, and maintain a great balance in the classroom. They are truly an amazing bunch of people! Our biggest surprise with Saint Andrews is the music program, which has surpassed all of our hopes.

Academics and character development are hallmarks of this school. I am a parent of a current 1st grader. This is my daughter's second year at St.Andrews.

The parent community is very strong and we immediately built a network of families. The other moms look out for my child, several proactively volunteer to take her to after school play dates and parties. Even though we have a nanny for our younger child, my 1st grader begs me to attend after school care. In addition to activities, there is also a study hall. My daughter frequently arrives home with her homework already completed! Great school! Read less

My 8th grade year the choir went to Disneyland for the Heritage Festival. We won first place out of the middle school choirs. Academics are also very important.
