St. Andrew’s School (DE)

Middletown
Delaware
United States

Overview

Founded in 1929 with a historically unprecedented commitment to financial aid, St. Andrew's is an Episcopal, co-ed, 100% boarding high school situated on 2,200 acres in Middletown, DE. The strength of our community is rooted in principles of trust, kindness, equity, and engagement. We believe in academic and human excellence—and that these two principles are not mutually exclusive. At St. Andrew's, you will do the authentic work of scholars in all of your academic disciplines. Your high school education will be centered on exploration and collaboration, on asking questions, on conducting research—and above all, on the joy and growth inherent to deep intellectual engagement. You will be an equal partner in your own learning and in building the culture of our classrooms and our community. You will experience a culture of kindness and a community of care at St. Andrew's. We are one of a handful of 100% boarding schools in the United States. Students and faculty not only learn but live together; at the end of the school day, you leave the classroom, but you don't leave the community. Our community values and fosters proximity, inclusivity, equity, and open dialogue in all our learning and living spaces. St. Andreans treat each member of our community fairly, respect and value other experiences, and support each other in every area of school life.
