St. Andrew's College

St. Andrew’s College is dedicated to the development of the complete man and the well-rounded citizen, prioritizing holistic education that balances academic excellence with emotional and physical well-being. The school fosters a nurturing, inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages individuality while promoting healthy understandings of masculinity. It emphasizes integrity, resiliency, leadership, and the cultivation of global citizenship.

The academic programme includes enriched streams such as Enriched French in Middle School and Extended French in Upper School, as well as a Reach-Ahead Math program for accelerated learning. Upper School students can pursue the AP Capstone diploma program and the specialized McEwen Leadership program for business and experiential learning. The curriculum also incorporates project-based learning, robotics, and outdoor education, including the St. Andrew’s Society for Service Around the World (SASSAW) service trips.

Academic support is provided through the Guided Learning Centre (GLC), which offers a supervised environment for students needing assistance with time management, missed assignments, or general academic help. Faculty members are available after school to provide extra support in subjects such as math, science, and writing. The centre also assists students who may have missed assessments due to other school commitments.

St. Andrew’s College manages admissions through a dedicated team and offers various financial aid options, including scholarships and bursaries, with over $3 million awarded annually. Prospective families are encouraged to contact the admission office to schedule a visit or request information. The school provides specific scholarship opportunities, such as the D. Bruce Macdonald Scholarship and the Community Scholarship, for students demonstrating strong character and community involvement.

The school year typically begins in early September, with orientation sessions for new students in both Middle and Upper School. The academic calendar includes several scheduled breaks, such as Thanksgiving, fall mid-term, December, winter mid-term, March, and spring mid-term breaks. The year concludes in June with Middle School Prize Day and Grade 12 graduation.

The campus features world-class facilities, including an arena, a two-storey makerspace for robotics and engineering, and the Towers Library. The school also provides a campus shop for uniforms and branded merchandise, as well as a health centre. Students have access to technology through a convertible touchscreen tablet program supported by a campus-wide wireless network.

The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, music, and arts, to cater to diverse student interests. The Arts and Co-Curricular Plus (ACPlus) program allows Upper School students to participate in activities such as ceramics, rock band, debate, Model UN, and investment clubs. Additionally, students can engage in robotics, piping and drumming, and various leadership roles through councils and clubs.
