Extra-Curricular
St. Andrew’s provides opportunities for students to pursue interests and develop talents outside the classroom. Through a varied co-curricular program, St. Andrew’s encourages students to exercise self-sufficiency, responsibility, and leadership, and to express themselves intellectually, socially, creatively,spiritually, and athletically.
Trips: When kids come together in a different environment, they see one another in new ways and can see new possibilities. Each year, 6th, 7th and 8th graders enjoy fall getaways to such places as camp varsity and horizon. There is also a challenging fall "Leadership" weekend, available to students in 9th to 12th grades. Upper School spring sports teams often use Spring Break for travel and practice on warm weather fields.
Every year there are opportunities for trips abroad through different academic departments. Recent destinations have included Greece & Turkey, Honduras, and South Africa.
Clubs: Each week there is a designated period during the school day when students can participate in clubs of their choice. Some recent clubs have been: Recycling Club, Improv Club, Car Enthusiasts Club, Student Government Board, Model UN, and Roar Spirit Club.
Other: Students have many opportunities to perform on stage through school plays, art assemblies, a jazz/rock show, and a talent show.
