School Uniforms are required and typically cost about $250-$350 per school year. They can be purchased from our vendor before school begins. If uniforms are needed during the school year, the school will purchase the required piece and bill the parents.
These costs do not reflect spending money for students while boarding at St. Andrew’s. Typically, $40-$50 a month is more than enough to cover incidentals, $20-$30 if the student is cautious with spending.
The Administration has endeavored to include all costs in the above figures. Inevitably, there arise certain unforeseen costs. These will be billed to the parents when they occur.
The basic “Fees” Cover Lab, Club, Choir, and Drama Fees
The “Travel” fees include the annual Spring Break Trip and other incidental travel during the school year. Those fees do not include the St. Andrew’s Travel Program trips, for example our international trips to England, Germany, and Italy.
