Horrible school, 6 students transferred out of this school and 3 teachers quit all in one semester. Highly unprofessional school and highly recommend you do not send your kid here.

I love St. Andrews! This beautiful school on the river has a laid back atmosphere but hosts a rigorous academic program to challenge its students. That is what I love most and am proud to send both of my children attend SAEA.
