St. Andrew’s Episcopal School: Nurturing Mind & Spirit
Established in 2001, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School is a year-around, non-profit Episcopal School with a Montessori program. Accredited through the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools and a full member of the American Montessori Society, SAES enrolls children ages twelve months through six years old.
We are truly an all-embracing community, with respect for diversity and individuality. We strive to display this core value in all we do. In addition to an open invitation to our families to share in the life of the parish, we have a chapel service once a week for the Early Childhood (3-5 year old) class. As an Episcopal Montessori program, we hold a global perspective. The philosophies of the Episcopal Church, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and Montessori education are all-embracing.
