St. Andrew'S Episcopal School

St. Andrew’s emphasizes a research-informed approach to teaching and learning, with faculty applying educational research to design instruction that helps students learn effectively while balancing joy and rigor. The school aims to “know and inspire each child” by nurturing students as individuals in an inclusive community and supporting their academic, personal, and spiritual growth. Service learning is presented as central to the curriculum, reflecting the school’s Episcopal identity and commitment to learning through contribution to others.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School uses the Ravenna portal for applications and event registration; families submit an online application (with an application fee) and the Admission Office tracks/updates completion status as materials are received. (saes.org) Key dates for the 2026–2027 cycle listed on the site include: January 5, 2026 (application/supporting materials and financial aid deadline), February 27, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (decisions posted in Ravenna), and March 13, 2026 (enrollment response deadline); the school also notes it may continue accepting applications/materials after the deadline on a space-available basis. (saes.org) Requirements vary by entry level but generally include a parent/guardian interview and student visit/shadow/playdate, plus school records (transcripts/grades) and teacher recommendation(s); for Grades 6–12, admission testing is not required and applicants may submit either a student project or certain test scores, and interviews include a student writing sample. (saes.org) If a qualified applicant cannot be offered a seat, the decision may be “Waitlist”; the waitlist is not ranked, is reviewed if space opens between March and late summer, stays active until the first day of school, and does not carry over to the next admission season (students must reapply for a future year). (saes.org) The admissions pages/FAQ do not publicly list any formal priority/preference categories (e.g., siblings/alumni/faculty), instead describing selection as based on academic and non-academic considerations and overall grade composition/fit.
