NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been going to Yattiyr, for a while. Yattiyr has changed how I see the world. I would highly reccommend anyone to Yattiyr. No principal or coach cares as much as Yattiyr's do. They are servants of God, and it is widely shown. Yattiyr has developed me as a student and as a person.Student Review7y ago7 Reviews - St. Andrew Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved our elementary aged boys here from our local public school. The turnaround we saw in our boys' perspective on school and learning was swift and profound. We went from "school is boring" and "I don't want to go to school today" at their old school to "I like everything about Saint Andrew" and "I'm sad it's Friday and the school week is almost over." The depth of sincerity and kindness we've experienced from the staff is striking. The responsiveness has been marked compared to their previous school. We're not Catholic--the spirituality and observance of faith while omnipresent has not been heavy handed. This is a sweet and supportive community that we've become deeply grateful to have found.Parent Review6mo ago17 Reviews
