St. Andrew's is a wonderful school! My children have been students here for 2 years. They have enjoyed the instruction and especially the extracurricular activities. There are a lot of things to choose from! As a parent, I was very happy to find that art, music, and physical education are still valued at this school. I feel that the teachers and administration really care about my children. They want each of them to do well in school and succeed in life. The Christian component of this school is evident in everything they do, from religious instruction to service projects to the examples of faithful Christians that serve at the school. And my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Pastor Matt! I would encourage anyone who is interested in finding a Christian school for their children to schedule a visit to this marvelous school!
