St Andrew’s is an independent girls' school in South Africa dedicated to the development of girls into grounded, accomplished, and confident young women who leave the school well and truly ‘Skilled for Life’ and ready to lead. Situated in Senderwood, Bedfordview, we offer a challenging yet imaginative education that extends well beyond the classroom. There are 4 schools on our beautiful campus including our Preschool (coeducational from 3 months to 5 years) Junior School Senior School and Saturday School, uBambsiwano. St Andrew’s School for Girls and its education are benchmarked globally and locally and as such, we believe that we can compete with the best in the world based on our quality of education, staffing, facilities, value-added offerings, independent networks, and good governance. Our girls write matric examinations set by the Independent Examinations Board (IEB), giving them a school-leaving qualification that is truly world-class. Through its assessments, the IEB aims to develop young people who are life-long learners, critical users of information, have good problem-solving skills, and are creative and reflective thinkers. The IEB philosophy has an impact on how children are taught in lower grades as they must be able to apply knowledge and not just repeat it. School-leavers who have gained an IEB matric are known to fare well at university, locally, and abroad. It is worth emphasizing that South African school-leaving examinations are benchmarked against the education systems in most foreign countries where young people wish to further their studies. Our Preschool provides a warm, caring, and happy environment in which girls and boys between the ages of 3 months and 5 years can learn and play. Our classrooms and expansive play areas are the ideal settings for a skills-based learning program that enables children to explore, develop and discover within the framework of structured yet flexible daily routines. Every staff member is a qualified professional with a passion for early childhood development. They also recognize the importance of adjusting their approach to meet each child’s specific needs. Our little ones are exposed to St Andrew’s values of accountability, balance, community, grace, integrity, and trust and are encouraged to recognize and display these in their daily interactions with others. Our Junior School provides an engaging space in which girls can develop both their known talents and discover some hidden ones during various stages of their development. Apart from our focus on the academic aspects of the curriculum, girls have an abundance of co-curricular activities from which to choose, helping them feel fulfilled, happy and successful in their education. Whole-girl development is important to us and we believe we provide the space and the opportunity for our girls to enjoy a happy, productive, and successful day at school. Our guiding values of balance, integrity, grace, community, accountability, and trust are core to each child’s journey with us as they build sound foundations that will enable them to thrive and reach their full potential. Our academic program is both outcomes and skills-based and nurtures problem-solving, critical, and creative-thinking skills. We believe in whole-girl development and know that core skills such as music, art, drama, and physical education are as important as academic skills and knowledge. As a school that wholeheartedly embraces technological advancement, girls are not only encouraged to become computer literate but to actively use the technology at their disposal to access, analyze and summarise information. Through our participation in the global Eco-Schools program, the curriculum incorporates environmental education with hands-on projects like a butterfly and bird garden, tree trail, and recycling initiatives being undertaken every year. Girls learn both isiZulu and Afrikaans until they complete Grade 5, before selecting one of these as a Senior School subject. St Andrew’s has a fully-equipped therapy center run by the school psychologists and a team of highly qualified therapists who form part of the staff body. They work alongside teachers and parents to enable each child to reach her full potential. Our academic program is both challenging and varied and lives up to our motto ‘Skilled for Life’. Girls write the Independent Examinations Board’s National Senior Certificate, which affords them excellent opportunities to study at the tertiary level, locally and abroad. Technology has become an indisputable part of modern-day life and we’ve embraced it in the classroom. Tablets used by Grade 8 and 9 girls provide a blended approach to teaching while at the same time maintaining the standards of academic excellence our school has come to be known for technology and multimedia – combined with small class sizes – provide the optimal environment for full engagement. Extra lessons and academic support are available to girls who require one-on-one support to help them along in their academic journey! View full school

St Andrew’s College is an innovative independent school that embraces new frontiers. This premium Anglican boarding school caters to over 450 pupils from across the globe. From Grade 8 to Matric, pupils experience individual attention with a focus on fostering individual talent. The school is passionate about ensuring that each boy is schooled for life, develops character, and strives to reach his full potential. The school motto is Nec Aspera Terrent (Difficulties do not dismay us) – this ideal of fearless acceptance of challenge sums up what the school aims to instill in its pupils as preparation for future life. St Andrew’s College enjoys a unique co-ordinate relationship with our neighboring sister school, the Diocesan School for Girls (DSG). Classes are shared by boys and girls from Grade 10-12 while retaining the distinctive features of life in a boys’ school and a girls’ school. The resources and strengths of each school, and sound relationships, are optimized through cooperation and interaction. The St Andrew’s College curriculum offers a wide range of options to pupils with many different interests and talents and allows for individual attention and assistance. High achievers who need extra challenges are continually stimulated and pupils of lesser academic capability can progress in a group that builds esteem and confidence. From Grade 10-12, pupils are generally divided into “sets” according to individual ability in each subject, while in Grades 8 and 9, there is a combination of setting and mixed ability groups. The teacher: pupil ratio is about 1:10 which enables both a range of subjects and individual aspirations to flourish in classes which are usually upwards of 20. Within these small classes, pupils are encouraged to think independently, to develop enquiring minds and the capacity to do research using resources such as the Internet and our Intranet. Each boy is assigned an academic tutor who monitors his progress and assists with any personal problems that may arise. The tutor is, in turn, responsible to the Housemaster, who is in charge of the pupil’s overall development. This personal attention, together with small classes, dedicated and well-qualified staff, and a system that allows for the boys to progress at a rate that builds self-esteem, gives each pupil the best possible learning environment. St Andrew’s has a fine tradition of academic achievement to prove this. In Grades 8 and 9, most of the classes are single-gender which allows for boys and girls to settle into their environments, but from Grade 10, classes are combined with the Diocesan School for Girls (DSG). This gives pupils to co-educational experience and, thus, optimizes both schools’ resources and strengths. Pupils write the matriculation examination of the Independent Examination Board (IEB) which enjoys a high profile both within South Africa and abroad. The IEB is benchmarked with the Scottish Highers and with the New South Wales education authority in Australia. Pupils with an IEB matriculation certificate have gained access to British universities when backed by an ‘An Aggregate’ which amounts to an average of 75%+ across the six subjects written. Access to such events as the National Arts or Science Festivals significantly enriches the academic and cultural program enjoyed by St Andrew’s pupils. The Cawse Library is run by a qualified librarian and an assistant. It is fully computerized and pupils have access to the Internet and our Intranet for research purposes. The David Wynne Music School is shared with DSG. It consists of a concert room, five teaching rooms, and 12 practice rooms. Here the wind orchestra, the jazz band, the chamber orchestra, the string and brass quartets, and the chapel and chamber choir practice and prepare for their performances. The Art Department has well-equipped senior and junior art studios as well as an audio-visual room where History of Art is taught. The Design and Technology Centre is widely recognized as one of the finest in the Southern Hemisphere. In a sense, it is the intellectual nerve center of the school, and activities conducted in the Centre are focused on cross-curricular work and creative thinking. The building has an extraordinary "cutting-edge" atmosphere to which pupils respond with resourcefulness and ingenuity when faced with a range of problems. 130 computer terminals are linked by a network and the computer rooms have two full-time information technology teachers and a network manager. Online facilities exist for teachers and pupils to find resources for their subjects and assignments. A range of projects, from research to presentations and programming, is undertaken. The extensive network encourages collaboration between the pupils of St Andrew’s and DSG and those of other schools. Email provides for a social and communicative aspect of computer usage and each boy, on acceptance to College, is given an email address. We have six Life Science and Physical Science Laboratories. The Centenary Hall was designed by Herbert McWilliams (OA 1923) and was built in a spectacular hurry to be ready for the Centenary Celebrations in 1955. It is in this beautiful hall that we have our weekly assemblies, host drama productions, and write exams. View full school

Along the way each of our Saints is guided by the St. Andrew's Honor Code that reinforces their moral compass long after graduation. While some St. Andrew’s students are math whizzes or gifted writers, others were born to paint a portrait or perform a song. Some students excel on the field or the court, while others are more at home conducting experiments in a physics or robotics lab. Some are natural leaders, while others are the glue that binds a team together. Some students long to see the world, while others want to serve in their communities. That’s why St. Andrew’s doesn’t stop with challenging students in the classroom. Instead, St. Andrew’s helps each student explore his or her interests and strengths, and then teaches students how to build on those unique gifts for success not only at St. Andrew’s, but also in college, in a career, and life. St. Andrew’s Episcopal School is the place to find your inner genius, your hidden talent, or your championship season. It’s the place to find your strength, your passion, and your path to future success.

We express our faith and tradition through our chapel services, our community life, and our focus on both spiritual growth and religious formation.

Our teachers are experts in their fields who know how to engage their students. Many St. Andrew’s instructors hold master’s degrees, and several have earned doctoral degrees. All St. Andrew’s teachers participate in continuing education programs, ensuring they are familiar with the latest pedagogical developments and technologies for their areas of specialty.

St. Andrew's has been educating young men since 1899, and true to our mission statement, we are "Dedicated to developing the complete man, the well-rounded citizen." We pride ourselves on our outstanding teachers, first-rate facilities, beautiful grounds, and programs that prepare boys to go out in the world and make a difference. As you will discover, St. Andrew's is not an ordinary place. We strive to nurture and develop creative boys who can perform above and beyond conventional standards. As a boarding school comprised of 260 students from 30-plus countries and approximately 360-day students, we form an international community of Andreans that flourishes in its diversity. This brotherhood of boys believes in and supports one another in a community that believes in and supports them. Our curriculum is designed to encourage students to become the best they can be academically, artistically, and athletically. Robust academic programming is guided by four areas of focus: boy-friendly instructional strategies, collaboration and teamwork, the development of critical-thinking skills, and the promotion of a growth mindset. Academics are balanced with various co-curricular activities, leadership opportunities, educational trips, and weekend programs. A student who arrives on campus in grade 5 cannot even begin to envision his inner potential, but he will undoubtedly discover it during his time here. He could never imagine that he might be capable of scoring the winning try in a rugby game, performing on stage in a student play, and leading the Pipes & Drums – all within 24 hours. However, we have seen boys achieve the unimaginable time and time again. St. Andrew's facilities are second to none. The Not An Ordinary Place Campaign ran for eight years - 2007-2015 - and added $42-million in improvements to our facilities. It was the most successful and ambitious campaign in the College's history. The three phases included: 1) the Yuill Family Athletic Complex with an all-weather synthetic turf field, baseball diamond, and outdoor, six-lane rubber track 2) the La Brier Family Arena, which houses an NHL-sized ice surface and 6,000 sq. ft. weight training facility renovated kitchen and servery in Cole Hall the Wirth Theatre, complete with a thrust stage and 3) the Centre for Leadership, Innovation & Performance, which focuses on music, business, entrepreneurship, leadership, and engineering. St. Andrew's College has a long and fascinating history, beginning September 10, 1899, the first day of School. Founded as a residential and day school in Chestnut Park in Toronto by Rev. Dr. George Bruce, the School's first Headmaster, the School admitted approximately 50 boys, 15 of whom were boarders. Five masters took the academic reins, and the boys were divided into four classes. Owing to Dr. Bruce's ill-health, he was succeeded by Dr. D. Bruce Macdonald, who went on to become the longest-serving Headmaster (1900 to 1935). In 1905, the School moved to a newly-built campus in Rosedale. That same year, the Highland Cadet Corps was established; its highest-ranking student was Vincent Massey, who later became the first Canadian-born Governor-General of Canada. The Pipes & Drums became part of the Cadet program in 1915. The School sojourned briefly at Knox College from 1918-1920 when Rosedale was used as a military hospital. Six hundred Old Boys served during the First World War, and 104 were killed in action. This vibrant community of more than 160 students experiences daily life in Rogers Hall. The Academic program in the Middle School allows our students to gain knowledge, skills, and confidence as they approach the Upper School. Faculty are well-versed in teaching techniques that engage young boys' attention, such as activity-based learning, humor, group projects, and an element of competition in the classroom, thereby bringing learning to life for their students. Their teaching practices are geared toward recognizing the unique emotional, intellectual, and developmental needs of this pre-adolescent age group. Boys who may have been underachieving in their previous schools often unearth a passion for learning that they never knew they possessed. View full school

At St. Andrew's Southgate we have a love of learning and strive to nourish the God-given potential of each individual. We value our caring and prayerful Christian environment where children develop as critical thinkers with self-worth and resilience. We have joy in diversity and an ambition for our children to enhance their lives and the lives of others. We are a one-form entry primary school and pride ourselves on providing a broad and stimulating curriculum whilst developing spiritual, moral, and cultural understanding in our pupils. Relationships between pupils and adults are excellent and we have a strong link with St Andrew's Church on Chase Side. St Andrew's School has been providing education for local children since 1863 and today there are 210 pupils on the roll, their ages ranging from 4-11. As a Church School, every aspect of life at St Andrew’s is rooted in and imbued with the values we share as Christians. Although many values might help to describe the uniqueness of Christian life, we feel that six words most clearly speak of our shared vision to embody the love of Jesus Christ and to reflect the infinite value of each individual, and the potential for goodness and growth in God’s creation, as shown in the scriptures. Each year group has a particular focus on one value and has adopted a saint whose own life offers a helpful example of the value lived out. We believe in the importance of quiet and reflective time, not only to enhance concentration but also well-being. We ensure that our collective worship and classroom time involves frequent spaces and moments for stillness, thought, and prayer. We recognize the need for antagonism to be resolved not just in consequences and resolution but in reconciliation and forgiveness. These elements allow a true “Shalom” or peace that includes a sense of being whole and complete. Our children are made aware of the need to pray for and work towards an end to war and violence throughout the world. Being grateful can be important but we promote not just an inner feeling but an outward reaction to appreciating the life we are given and the opportunities placed before us. Children are taught that our response to people in need is a result of our gladness that we are blessed. We encourage one another to be joyful in all that we do and to support and take pleasure in each other’s gifts and talents. We believe in a God who created all things. The children of St Andrew’s are shown and taught in countless ways how to care for and take responsibility for the environment around us. Children have the opportunity within the school to care for animals (including chickens) but also to tend and cultivate the earth in our mini allotments. Our whole school community is engaged with making the very most of our premises with parents and guardians regularly invited to take part in the maintenance or decorating working parties. But perhaps most importantly the children are helped to make the connection between succeeding and participating and God’s desire that we all use the gifts given to us in their fullness.

St Andrew’s Prep is an independent day and boarding school (full, weekly, and Flexi) for boys and girls aged 9 months to 13 years. It is located in the coastal town of Eastbourne, East Sussex with easy access to London. We value childhood as the most important stage in one’s life a time where social development through friendship and play is as important as academic development within the classroom. We passionately believe that prep school education is about opening doors for young minds and, whilst maintaining high academic standards, we strive to ensure that each pupil has as many doors as possible from which to choose. We feel that this is an exceptional school an environment that upholds the finest prep school traditions but also one which is forward-thinking in preparing children for life in the 21st century. We seek to ensure that all pupils are equipped with the essential qualities of kindness and compassion and that when each child leaves he or she is skilled and confident to perform in many different areas. This website will give you a glimpse of the education, opportunities, and challenges that the school can offer your child. Please do explore it thoroughly and I hope it will whet the appetite for a visit during which, I’m sure, you’ll gain a real sense of the energy, the happiness and the engagement in learning of our children. I’m sure too you will see why we are so proud of its location, the heritage, facilities and staff of the school, but most of all, the children who define us and are the school’s heartbeat. At St Andrew’s we work with the parents to develop pupils of strong character who are confident yet not arrogant pupils who are comfortable with formality and informality who celebrate the successes of others as well as being proud of their achievements and who are ready to extend courtesy and kindness to those about them. Staff worked with the Prep School Council of pupils to discuss the traits needed to produce such morally aware characters and, together, we chose the following as values for all Androvians to possess: Honesty Kindness Respect Gratitude Courage These values are promoted through our rewards and sanctions policies, assemblies, Chapel services, PSHE (Personal Social and Health Education), our Mind Matters program, and, most importantly, the human relationships and partnerships that are nurtured between the children, staff, and parents.

Inspired by our Christian ethos we aim to provide a caring, healthy and friendly environment for all of our families. We work in close partnership with parents/carers so that they can play an active part in their child's education. Throughout their time with us, we encourage children to be positive, responsible, and considerate young people who can work cooperatively with others whilst also being confident and successful as independent learners. At St. Andrew are the children, their parents/carers, and staff come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. In our multi-cultural society, we hope to have a greater awareness, respect, and tolerance of each other by learning about each other’s customs and beliefs. As a Christian and community school, we are in a position to offer a firm foundation for a more just multicultural society. We regard all children as being of equal value and we aim to show by our curriculum, attitudes, and values that cultural diversity is welcome in our school. We intend that all children, regardless of language, faith or culture, should feel valued as individuals. Children’s names are placed on a waiting list and places are allocated as follows. Preference is given to children, who have special educational needs, and for whom St. Andrew’s is thought to be the most appropriate placement and for brothers and sisters of children already attending the school. Please note that a place in a Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception Class. There is one intake a year into the Reception Class, in September. If you are interested in a school place, please phone to make an appointment to visit. Information packs regarding admission to primary schools are sent to parents by the Local Authority in the school year before admission. It has been government policy to establish home/school agreements, which contribute to an effective partnership between home and school. Our home/school agreement sets out the rights and responsibilities of the school, the parents, and the children. Parents are asked to sign a home/school agreement when their child starts school. All Key Stage 2 children will be allowed to learn to play the recorder. The school choir also practices each week. Some children may also learn to play strings or brass. Parents may be asked to pay for music books, which then become their property. After-school short courses in basketball, football, tag rugby, hockey, dance, etc. are offered subject to the availability of specialist staff. Our Behaviour Policy deals with bullying, aggressive and disruptive behavior. It states what we expect from the children and what is not acceptable. We hope that our school’s ethos helps the children to develop qualities of tolerance, self-respect, courtesy, and consideration for others and their property. If children display anti-social behavior, parents will be informed and the problems discussed with them. The cooperation and support of parents enable us to maintain a good standard of behavior. St Andrew’s C.E.Primary School follows the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (click here) in the Nursery and Reception classes and the National Curriculum (click here) in Years 1 to 6. To make learning fun and relevant, we use a thematic approach to teaching which is inspired by the interests of the children and teachers themselves. This means that teachers use themes such as "Up, up and away" in Year 1 or "The Great Wall of China" in Year 6 to teach both knowledge and skills across many curriculum areas such as History, Geography, Science, Art, and Design and Computing. English and Mathematics are taught daily, sometimes in discrete lessons, sometimes using the topic theme as a stimulus for work in these subjects too. There are, of course, times when some subject content does not fit in with a class theme these areas are taught discretely to ensure full coverage of the curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to continuously evolve so that we offer the children an increasingly rich and broad learning experience. As a Christian Voluntary Aided Church of England School, our Religious Education curriculum follows the local Manchester Diocesan Curriculum. This is one way in which we develop the children's spiritual and ethical understanding and knowledge. Children at St Andrew’s receive high-quality phonics teaching. We use a variety of different schemes including Jolly Phonics and Phonics Play, amongst others. The teaching of reading is supported by providing children with a comprehensive and varied reading experience which includes Oxford Reading Tree, Bug Club, and a range of other literature. Once children are past the early stages of reading we use Accelerated Reader to motivate and monitor all our readers. We actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. A key element to enhancing the curriculum at St Andrew’s is our involvement with the wider community. We get involved every week with learning beyond our school, our city, and our country. We have regular visitors and enjoy school trips to different places. We get involved with supporting those needier than ourselves and try hard to develop those important 'life skills' needed for adult life. Our curriculum offers much more than the statutory requirements. We also invest time in developing the children's manners, confidence, and support and respect for one another. We have a House system which we use to emphasize these issues. Extra-curricular clubs are held on most evenings after school. View full school

All children have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and we regularly work in partnership with professional artists and musicians. This year we are, once again, working in partnership with the Royal Opera House to deliver their highly successful ‘Chance to Dance’ project. We promote enjoyment for learning and encourage children to be independent, reflective learners through the development of thinking skills. View full school

Each month we focus on one value that we expect the children to adopt and maintain during their time at our school. As a Church of England school, worship Is very important to Our ethos. We like to start each morning with worship, either in the hail as a whole school, at church (once a half-term), or in our classrooms. Our worship follows the Christian tradition and Is taken by the vicar once per week. Parents are entitled to withdraw their children from acts of worship if they request this In witting. Our daily act of worship is central to the life of our school. In sharing and understanding God's love and the Christian principles which flow from it, we learn to respect the uniqueness of each one of us. We enjoy close links with our parish church, St Andrew's Totteridge, and we worship there several times a year, with the children taking an active role in each service. The school is situated in the beautiful setting of Totteridge Common and we benefit from playing on the Green. We value a close relationship with our families and believe our children can only do their best when they feel happy and secure at school. Our staff are multi-skilled and friendly and are committed to developing our pupil's full potential in all aspects of school life. By working together we seek to build upon our pupil's zest for life, enabling them to grow into keen independent learners who can approach their secondary education with confidence.

We see education as a partnership between parents, school, and the church. With your help, we will ensure that your child is happy, secure, sees learning as a positive experience, and receives the best possible education. At St. Andrew’s our aim is to create an environment, which reflects Christian beliefs and promotes successful teaching and learning. This is a mixed voluntary-aided school, which has a one-form entry (30 children) and caters to children throughout the Primary age range (5-11). St. Andrew’s is rightly proud of its heritage and has been serving the children and families of Uxbridge since 1869. Right from the very beginning, the school has had a Christian foundation, as a Church of England School, and this faith in God is still a central and vibrant aspect of the character of the school. Christian values underpin the whole ethos of the school, belief in the God-given potential of every child inspires all we do, and joyful worship helps to create a united, loving, and confident community. With this foundation of faith, we seek to serve the local community by offering high-quality education to all our pupils. Our Vision is: To deliver a relevant and balanced quality curriculum that enables all children to reach their full potential. To enable each child to grow in confidence, self-esteem, and spiritual awareness. To foster an understanding and respect for others. To develop inquiring, independent, and creative minds. For children to be happy while belonging to a secure community and to encourage them to look forward to a challenging future. At St. Andrew’s we implement a policy that will enable all children to reach their full potential through the efficient identification of educational, behavioral, and physical strengths and weaknesses. The progress of all children is assessed and tracked at regular intervals. If it is identified that a child is not making the expected progress or requires additional support we work closely with parents to find solutions and enable learning. The positive involvement of all parties is crucial to the success of such pupils. At times it is deemed necessary to involve outside agencies such as the London Borough of Hillingdon Educational Psychology Service. Parents are fully consulted if this occurs. At St Andrew’s we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this are a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to the British Commonwealth. This statement outlines the key British values we actively promote. Our school vision and ethos revolve around Core Christian Values, reflected in our weekly assembly themes. We promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom rules. Our PSHE curriculum embodies the values of mutual respect and we actively promote an attitude of equality and fairness through PE and Games lessons. Our older pupils promote mutual respect by working with other, younger pupils across the school during lessons and also lunchtimes. View full school

Welcome to St Andrew's Church of England Primary School Barnsbury Islington. We are a popular one- form entry Church of England voluntary aided primary school situated in the diverse Barnsbury area of Islington. Our Christian ethos is firmly embedded in all that we do at St. Andrew’s with strong links with the Barnsbury Parish team and the churches of St. Andrew’s, All Saints, and the Church on the Corner. Our values are linked to our school vision and are evident not just visually around the school, but also in terms of how we treat each other and flourish and grow together as a whole school community. School Motto: 'Realising potential through faith, hope, and love'. We provide a safe, happy and purposeful environment for our children which supports them in their learning right from their first experience of school in Reception through to Y6 and we ensure children are well-prepared for their journey into secondary school – and beyond! St. Andrew’s is very fortunate to have extensive and well-maintained grounds – which is rare for a school in central London! Our playground includes a grassed area as well as gardens and a court with separate outdoor learning provisions for Foundation Stage children. Because of our central location close to King’s Cross we have access to all the opportunities, this provides for cultural learning and of course excellent transport links. We are also acutely aware of the challenges that face people living and working in one of the major capitals of the world with its areas of prosperity and deprivation. We firmly believe that all children – no matter what background they have, have the potential to achieve success. We believe that children thrive in a caring and intellectually stimulating environment with plenty of praise and encouragement. At St. Andrew’s we aim to help our children to succeed and gain confidence so that they contribute to society as skillful and well-balanced young people.

This is integral to the school day and a fundamental part of our journey together. View full school

The College’s founder was Reverend Alexander Thompson, an exceptional orator, scholar, fundraiser, and visionary, who served the British and Foreign Bible Society in New Zealand and Australia for 20 years and was instrumental in setting up the Flying Doctor Service. His driving ambition was to ‘educate the sons of the Presbyterian and Scottish community of Canterbury’, and due to his determination, St Andrew’s College opened its doors in Christchurch in 1917, with 19 boys and four teachers. In late 1917, the fledgling St Andrew’s College Board purchased ‘Strowan’ the magnificent property, which is still home to the College today. Its centerpiece, the gracious and fully restored Strowan House has overseen all the comings and goings at St Andrew’s over its long history and is a well-loved and highly recognizable landmark on the College campus. Scottish Presbyterian traditions remain at the heart of St Andrew’s, with the skirl of the pipes, twirl of the Highland dancers, the Ferguson tartan, St Andrew’s cross, and Scottish thistle weaved into the fabric of College life. We celebrate our early visionaries at the annual Founders’ Day celebrations when we hold our version of the Highland Games. St Andrew’s College is a Christ-centred Presbyterian Church School. We embrace a rich heritage of historic Christian faith with roots in the Free Church Presbyterian tradition and as part of the wider Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand (PCANZ). The Trinitarian theology of this tradition (2 Corinthians 13:14) informs, pervades, and shapes the life of the school in a missional and pastoral manner, but concerning those of other faiths or no faith. We believe education must be holistic and embrace the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of students, as well as their academic and social growth, and development in sport and the arts. Life is co-ed, so it makes sense for students to spend their formative years in a highly engaged co-educational learning environment as they prepare for their future beyond school in a diverse society. St Andrew’s College is proud to be the only independent school in the South Island offering Pre-school to Year 13 education for both boys and girls. The benefits of co-education have been recognized since ancient times, when the Greek philosopher, Plato, said co-education creates a feeling of comradeship. He advocated teaching of both males and females in the same institution without showing any discrimination in imparting education. Collaboration in the classroom helps boys and girls to gain a fresh perspective from each other intellectually, develop socially, and become more confident in expressing their views in the presence of members of the opposite sex. Research shows that students in co-educational schools are often better prepared to succeed in post-secondary education and to enter the workforce. It fosters a positive self-image and helps to develop the confidence of our future leaders. Our teachers understand the holistic nature of learning. It is cognitive, as well as emotional and social. We use current scientific research to inform our practice. Our students are taught by passionate, highly skilled, and responsive teachers, many of whom are recognized nationally and internationally in their areas of expertise. All of our teachers work hard to create innovative and inspirational learning experiences. They are committed to teaching the College’s learning values alongside their subject areas, encouraging students’ creativity, the ability to think and question critically, to collaborate, to self manage and to contribute positively to the world in which they live. St Andrew’s College values looking forward to the future and understand the skills student will need to succeed in an uncertain world. Confidence, creativity, and the ability to think critically are central to our philosophy. We have the agility, flexibility, and innovations to ensure our staff and students are well equipped for the unprecedented rate of exponential change in digital technology. We have a purpose-built Innovation and Information Centre where students are encouraged to not just become fluent users of technology, but also skilled creators of digital innovations and inventions. Students have access to modern fabrication equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and tools, and work on various coding applications and programs to write simple and complex programs, design games, and automate processes and procedures. We have active robotics teams in both the Preparatory and Secondary Schools. Outside mentors, with expertise in a wide range of areas including the Internet of Things (IoT), are brought in to support our Digital Technology programs. St Andrew’s College believes the co-curricular activity is integral to a young person’s development. We offer an exceptional range of sporting, recreational, musical, and other performance opportunities to our students, ensuring they can discover their potential, explore their interests, express their talents, and strive for excellence in their activity of choice.

Founded in 1929 with an unprecedented financial aid approach, St. Andrew's is an independent, co-ed, all-boarding, Episcopal high school. We stand today as a community dedicated to tying education to a public purpose. We work to awaken our students to the responsibilities we share for our world. We seek engagement, inquiry, and creativity to promote future generations of thoughtful, compassionate, and intelligent leaders. Join us. In the 21st century, we rarely think very much about the real purpose of secondary and undergraduate education. We are too busy figuring out how to gain admission and seize a competitive advantage to think clearly about the miracle and the opportunity of joining an educational community dedicated to human and academic excellence. St. Andrew's thinks about the purpose and privilege of education every day. In our 86 years as a distinctive educational experiment, we have sought to tie education to human transformation, illumination, service to causes larger than ourselves, and a commitment to peace, justice, and equality in our country and the world. That is why St. Andrew's is a dynamic and electric place. At a time when many private schools peer suspiciously and timidly out at their nation and the world, St. Andrew's embraces the challenge, excitement, and opportunity of a new century of enlightenment, progress, and hope. Schools do not have to retreat and ignore founding and mission principles to survive. They must, in contrast, celebrate the full power of liberal education and learning. The St. Andrew's story has a proud past, dynamic present, and exciting future. We are working every day to be a place where teachers and students find new meaning, new energy, new commitments in their lives. We are a school intent on exploring and celebrating the diversity of the 21st century and affirming that in diversity, we can come together in affirmation and defense of the great truths of 21st-century life: the power of hope the power of love the power of empathy the power of grace the power of service the power of generosity The academic spirit of the school ties excellence to the original work of the liberal arts. We teach the most rigorous and transformational skills and habits of mind essential to citizenship, leadership, and service in the 21st century: the power of writing, the art of argument, the engagement of research, problem-solving and experimentation, the cultivation of collaboration, teamwork, creativity, and discovery. The program relies on an ambitious and dedicated faculty and a passionate, curious, and energetic student body. Whether students arrive from private, public, charter, or international schools, they meet an academic program that completely redefines their understanding of teaching and learning excellence. The community thrives on the trust, respect, and admiration expressed each day by a remarkable faculty and student body. We are proudly counter-cultural, saying yes to kindness and no to acts of words and expressions of disrespect and cruelty, saying yes to technology as a tool for learning and no as a source of narcissism and distraction, saying yes to hard work, resilience, and grit and no to the alcohol and drug industry saying yes to living lives of service and no to living lives of selfishness and elitism. We continue to cultivate a deep and lasting desire for learning in our students, a willingness to ask questions. We pursue skeptical, independent inquiry and an appreciation of the liberal arts as a source of wisdom, perspective, and hope. We encourage our students to do the work of scholars, artists, and scientists and develop those expressive and analytical skills necessary for effective communication, judicious consideration of multiple points of view, and meaningful lives as engaged citizens. We seek to help our students develop a passion for intellectual pursuits such that each student feels inspired to develop and pursue his/her talents. Our students and faculty live in a residential community founded on ethical principles and Christian beliefs. We expect our faculty and staff to make our students' interests primary, to maintain professional roles with students and to act as role models at all times, to set and maintain healthy boundaries with students, to encourage student autonomy and independence, to act transparently with students, and to support each student's developmental growth and social integration at the School. Our students collaborate with dynamic adults and pursue their passions in a co-curriculum that includes athletics, community service, and the arts. We encourage our students to find the balance between living in and contributing to the community and developing themselves as leaders and individuals. As an Episcopal School, St. Andrew's is grounded in and upheld by our Episcopal identity, welcoming persons regardless of their religious background. We are called to help students explore their spirituality and faith as we nurture their understanding and appreciation of all world religions. View full school
