List of 7 frequently asked questions.

What is St. Andrew's Day?

It's an annual tradition celebrating our patron saint and the members of our community dedicated to serving others. The entire K-12 school community will attend a chapel service at the Upper School gym with a Holy Eucharist, special music, awards, and a sermon. Parents and alumni are welcome to join in the celebration. After the service, a school-wide luncheon is held.
If my child is in the Lower or Middle School, do I need to drive them to the Upper School?

No, you should follow your usual drop-off procedure at the 31st Street campus in the morning. Students will ride St. Andrew's buses with their teachers to and from the Upper School campus.
Are parents and alumni invited to attend St. Andrew's Day?

Yes! No RSVP required. Find a seat in the gym by 9:30 am.
