My daughter used to dread going to school when she was in public school. Since she has started at St. Andrews, adjectives like 'great and so much fun' have been used by her to describe her days.

I taught in public schools in Tennessee and Georgia for over 12 years. I went to St. Andrew's to observe and couldn't get my jaw off the floor. The children were given 'contracts'. They were given an option of several things to do and got to choose which one they did. All the activities I saw looked

After years of public school it seemed so odd that teachers weren't having to constantly stay on the kids to either behave, or to get busy and get their work done. Plus, the teachers seemed so stress-free. No one knew I was coming to observe so it wasn't a 'show'. I would like for my child to go there and I'm looking into enrolling him for next year. Read less

The school is very small and the parents and teachers are engaged in every aspect. We have attended several school sponsored activities and found the older students to be very friendly and nuturing w/the small kids. Athletics are available but not as competitive as the local schools. However, academics are the priority and not athletics. We are happy thus far and intend to stay as long as our child continues excelling. Read less
