Went here for high school. Full of snotty rich kids who are image-obsessed. Teachers are pretty okay. If a student is struggling for whatever reason, there is little to no help provided (Which is crazy considering how expensive tuition is!). Also, barely any diversity. Do not recommend.

Education superior to many colleges. I spent 9 years on this campus, and am better all around for it. I can't thank SA enough. I miss you!!

Our son started High School at Saint Andrews and has had the best overall experience. The academics are strong, the teachers truly care and the guidance counselors encourage involvement. Our son has brought home some of the most polite, selfless kids that reflect our morals and values. We couldn't be more pleased!

Saint Andrews is an amazing school. The school offers a great education and the campus is beautiful. There are some snobs in the school, but just like any other school there will be students of all types, both good and bad, attending the school.

This is an incredible school. going here has allowed/given me the opportunity to travel to Singapore, Borneo, China, Germany, Austria, Czech Rubuplic, and all around the U.S. The teachers at this school are the greatest in the world, I can not even chose a favorite because they are all so good. Going to Saint Andrews has been some of the best years of my live. And no this is not a school just for the upper class, Saint andrews has scholarship programs and financial aid to help those who need it. Also since Saint Andrews is a boarding school it has given me to make friends with people from all around the world, from china to the Bahamas, Vietnam, Turkey, and more. Saint Andrews is an incredible school their is no reason and excuse why you should not apply( even if you live far away they have saint andrews buses pick and drop kids of from school who life farther away). Saint Andrews is paradise.

My experiences were top, top notch. The best education!!! I've noticed several of the relatively few complainers and low scorers seem to have their own troubles with English, grammar, spelling, etc. Fascinating that the better the student the better the experience.

Maybe the education is good (not great!) BUT the people who are attending this school.....If you want you're child to be surrounded by people who think they are better just because they have more money, this is the place to be. They learn that having money means you got more respect. The frase "do good, don't look back", they still have to learn that. Another person already said this: snotty people. The education and environment is very strict, the child isn't respected as child. They can't be themselves, they are turned in to what the school and the parents with influance (read money) think is good. The rule by fear. They are really very very nice to you when you are concidering this school, after admission....you are on you're own! Find another school!

Saint Andrew's School is a warm and nurturing environment where teachers take a personal interest in their students. I have been a parent here for 6 years, and my daughter loves school; she loves her teachers, her friends, the campus, the lunch. :) The programs are enriched, and we particularly enjoy the global perspective of the school. I am happy to have my daughter in a safe school with a vibrant curriculum and dedicated teachers. I am a working Mom, I get help with tuition, and I'm grateful to be part of the SAS family.

This school is full of very snotty people who hold people of low socioeconomic status at a very low level of respect. The admissions staff were initially very nice, but once they found out my daughter would need financial aid to attend they were very rude and eventually just stopped helping us.

I have attended Saint Andrew's since sixth grade. My journey here can be described as a life-changing experience. This school has provided me with a rigorous program that focuses on mind, body, and spirit. As a college-bound senior, it surprises me that some individuals have complaints about this wonderful school. Teachers are almost always available for extra help and the campus is expansive and scenic. I highly recommend Saint Andrew's to any student who would like to receive a first-rate education while being part of an incredible, diverse student body. GO SCOTS!

I rate my personal expierence with the institution as unsatisfactory. As a boarding student, I the program is incredibly overpriced for how underdeveloped it is. The dormitory is quite tarnished, and the daily van runs are quite repetitive. The expierence of living with individuals from arond the world can be quite interesting. specially since everyone brings a different culture to the table. The sad thing is that all of our cultures that makes us unique are all supressed into a linear, black and white thinking. The teachers only percieve black and white, and all students who see colors in between are often segregated by the authorities themselves. education is the same as in a public institution, just with fewer students. This is definetly not a school for liberal arts, and I would strongly suggest any boarding student to think twice before enrolling in such a school. The institution may have a good reputation, but t is nothing like its pedigree.

I went to St. Andrew's for Upper School and had an amazing experience. If you work hard and want to do well academically, you will thrive. I will be attending my first choice school this fall. If you slack and do not try in your classes, yes you will end up at FSU. Money has a strong influence in the school; however, it did not hinder my academic or athletic success. My parents did not donate a significant amount to the school and I still had a lot of great opportunities and unforgettable experiences.

If you want to attend a school on a beautiful campus with beautiful buildings this is the school for you. After that there are inflated egos, a stiff presence and no real discipline. I have never seen students be so disrespectful to teachers and walk around with such a sense of entitlement. They have a student body filled with issues and they have no idea how to handle it because there parents donate a lot of money. I have transferred my child to another school and I honestly can't believe the difference.
