Faculty and Staff

The value of so many faculty and students learning together in community is incalculable.

The faculty at St. Andrew’s has chosen to be part of uniquely challenging and rewarding vocation: to support the development of our students spiritually, physically, intellectually, culturally, emotionally and socially (S.P.I.C.E.S.). The faculty is fully involved in all aspects of education, inside and outside of the classroom, supporting the students of St. Andrew’s by “building in love”.
