Our Staff
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”.
Administrators and Teachers
Educated at distinguished universities in a variety of regions throughout Canada, the USA, and the British Isles, the administrative and teaching staff forms a community of leaders and learners, committed to their own professional development and dedicated as mentors for the students in their care. All teachers at St. Andrew’s are professionally certified by the BC College of Teachers or hold BC Independent School Certification.
