St. Andrew's opened its doors in 1983, but its traditions can be traced to the 19th century when St. Louis College, a Catholic school for boys aged six to fifteen, was located on Pandora Avenue. The philosophy of Catholic education that permeated the core values of the College remains at St. Andrew's. Today, we are a co-educational school of 400 students in Grades 8 through 12, and religious education classes remain a vital facet of our school. Students learn about faith, the Sacraments, their prayer life, the Bible, and contemporary issues. Each year, religious retreats occur across grade levels. Students often say that the retreats are one of the highlights of their year at school.
Teachers at St. Andrew's are of various and accomplished educational backgrounds. They take pride in their daily interactions with students, assisting them in their academic and spiritual journey. We endeavor to offer a holistic education to each student at St. Andrew's, aimed at nurturing body, mind, spirit, and emotion. As always, To Build in Love continues to be our mandate. In addition to our faith-based academic programs, we offer a range of athletic programs and extra-curricular activities. We encourage all of our students to participate in order to enrich their school experience further.
St. Andrew's is proud of all its students. Our graduates have left our halls to make their way in the world. They have done so with aplomb, distinguishing themselves as leaders in many professions and significant contributors to society. We are delighted to call them alumni. Our reputation is one where all students will interact with God's teachings and be challenged, through a rigorous and comprehensive program of studies, to do the very best they can.
