Saint Andrew's School, located on a picturesque 80-acre campus five miles from the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida, offers a rigorous, college-preparatory program with honors courses in every department and over 20 Advanced Placement classes. Three full-time college guidance officers are available to provide one-on-one counsel to our students through the competitive college application process.
