We live in a co-ed world ... let's learn in one too

We provide a dynamic and enriching co-ed learning environment where your child will gain exposure to diverse perspectives, collaboration and inclusivity, ensuring they have the skills and mindset to navigate the world beyond the school gates.

Inspiring teachers provide personalised education programmes

With an emphasis on continuous assessment, real-world relevance, small class sizes and individualised pathways, our students receive a well-rounded education that fosters both academic achievement and personal growth.

Well-being and pastoral care is central to all we do

We believe that nurturing character is as important as cultivating intellect. We recognise that the learning process encompasses social, emotional and cognitive dimensions. Our focus is to ignite inspiration and fully engage the whole child.

"At St Andrew’s College young minds come together to share new experiences, gaining fresh perspectives from one another. Our students leave us as confident, resilient young adults, well-equipped to thrive in the complexities of today's world."

"I love the community spirit at StAC – it is difficult to express it to those who have not experienced it; however, it is conveyed in the confidence of the students, their support and appreciation of the College, and of each other."
