St. Andrew's School
St. Andrew's School, one of the best boarding schools in the USA, is a coeducational, Episcopal, all-boarding school located on 2,200 acres near Middletown, Delaware. For more than 90 years, St. Andrew's has been a school open to all children who meet the admissions criteria, regardless of their family's financial situation.
The special school culture of kindness and equity is built on accessibility. It is one of just three co-ed college prep high schools in the United States that board all of its students. The rigorous academic program involves collaboration, discussion, and genuine intellectual engagement.
Every year, it offers 130 courses in 10 areas and brings a diverse range of visiting speakers to campus for speeches and classroom seminars. At St. Andrew's, you will live in a community with 310+ students and 80 faculty members—a community in which you will experience athletic and artistic growth, chances for leadership, and, most importantly, a sense of belonging.
The academic program of St. Andrew's works hard to cultivate habits of deliberation, curiosity, creativity, and independent critical thinking in its students. The tremendous vigor of academic culture reflects these key ideals. A campus visit will discover colorful, playful, and intellectually serious classrooms, laboratories, and art studios, as well as students who are motivated and genuinely engaged in their work.
Students at St. Andrew's School live in one of six boys' or eight girls' dorms. Third, IV and V Form students live in gender and form-specific dorms. Each residence hall is supervised by one or more faculty members, known as dorm parents, who live in a faculty apartment next to the dorm.
Each dorm has a central standard room with a rudimentary kitchen. Dorm meetings and gatherings, such as birthday parties, dessert parties, group games, and other activities, are held in the common area, which is usually near the dorm parent's apartment. Students usually live in double rooms, with a few single and triple rooms scattered throughout campus.
