The mission of St. Andrew’s is ‘to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning and service,’ all of which appealed to our family. We look forward to the coming school years at St. Andrew’s.”

Former vice president Joe Biden’s grandchildren and former vice president Al Gore’s children also attend the school.
