The high quality of the St. Andrew’s Academy program is directly related to the high caliber of the Academy’s faculty and staff. To recruit and retain excellent teachers, St. Andrew’s Academy seeks to create an excellent teaching environment, including attractive financial compensation. The School is committed to maintaining small class sizes, which allow talented teachers to meet the individual needs of all students – students who represent a range of academic skills and abilities. The commitments to support excellent teachers and maintain small class sizes frame much of the Academy’s annual budget expenses.

The budget of St. Andrew’s Academy is largely supported by tuition. In addition, all families are encouraged to further support the school in a variety of ways including participating in the annual auction fundraiser, contributing volunteer time and talents, and providing financial gifts to the Academy, which are tax deductible. The philosophy that guides the balancing of the expenses and income and the setting of tuition, is informed by the understanding that for many families the St. Andrew’s Academy tuition, or tuitions, is a large portion of the family budget.

For the 2008-2009 school year tuition is as follows:

Kindergarten – $7,695
First through Fifth Grades – $8,295

Students who join the academy midyear will have their tuition prorated. St. Andrew’s Academy makes available a limited amount of financial aid based on financial need.
