 MySA is our community online portal. As you transition into the school community, we want you to know that sharing your progress is important to us. Teachers and advisors are communicative and responsive to both students and parents. At Saint Andrew’s School, we've created a one-stop, all-inclusive communication vehicle for parents to know about their Scot's learning, progress, and academic performance. This communication tool is called MySA. If you are a new family, check out our Parent Zone to stay up-to-date with all the happenings at Saint Andrew's!

Students meet in Advisory/Chapel/Assembly every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Advisory is a program that nurtures student growth in academic and social/emotional areas.  Boarding students will be assigned an upper school faculty member who is also part of the residential life program. A college counselor will be assigned to each student when they are entering their sophomore year of school or right away if they are a new junior or senior.

Chapel is a community gathering held once a week for the entire Upper School and some Sunday evenings for our boarding students. Chapel attendance is required of all students and faculty. Chaplains plan the Chapel programs with inclusivity, creativity, and community building to enrich the students’ educational experience at Saint Andrew’s. Chapel is celebrated with sensitivity and appreciation of the religious diversity present on campus.

New students will complete a survey that will be used to place roommates together. All new students will have a roommate. Roommate assignments come out in August, just before the start of school.

All dormitories are equipped with free washers and dryers. If a student is looking for a dry cleaning or laundry service, we can arrange that, but in Florida, the uniforms and athletic wear are lightweight, and most students choose to do their own laundry.

Dormitories closed during Thanksgiving, December/Holiday, and March Break. Students are required to leave campus during those breaks. Our travel calendar is available on MySA.

Saint Andrew’s offers a holistic approach to student support. A student’s advisor will work with students to help ensure they take advantage of all the support offered. Teachers are available for extra help before or after school and during resource periods. In addition, a writing and math lab is staffed by faculty throughout the school day. In addition, many resident life teachers are available during study hall, and math teachers are available Monday-Thursday during study hall for boarding students. If a student has a C or lower in any class, there is a restricted study hall requirement where students will receive close supervision during study hall. If a student is still struggling in a course, Saint Andrew’s School has a Tutoring Coordinator who can connect students with Saint Andrew’s teachers who offer tutoring services.

For new students, course selection happens during the registration process in early April. You will receive an email and additional information from the Upper School in April.

• All new students are required to complete the math placement evaluation.

• If you choose one or more advanced courses on your course selection form, you must also complete an advanced course application for each course.

Students studying a world language must complete a corresponding language placement evaluation. However, students with no prior experience in their language of choice do not need to take the placement evaluation.

Students are introduced to the campus and other students during orientation prior to the beginning of the school year. There is also a club fair early in the fall where students can learn more about and join a variety of clubs. Additionally, many students meet new friends through sports and the fine arts.

Yes. Each June, we publish a required summer reading list through MySA. Read daily, if you can — in a favorite chair, waiting for a plane (or in it), idling under a tree, or lounging on a beach. Although we expect you to read at least three books this summer, we trust you will seek and read more that appeal to you.

If you have other questions, please contact Kelly Sheehan, Director of Boarding Admission, at kelly.sheehan@z404.com.
