This academy is truly a wonderful and unique place. You will not find a better place of education in all of the United States (colleges included!).

I highly recommend SAA. It is such a relief to have my kids learn at a place that is attached to the Orthodox Christian Church. The children spend their days praying, singing, and learning. What a rich life they have due to this institution.

My kids love this Academy! They are learning the classics in a traditional Christian environment that is still affordable for families with multiple kids - no private school snootiness at this academy. The teachers really care about these kids and the headmaster is a hoot!

Our family's journey with the Saint Andrew Academy has been nothing short of transformative. It is a rare privilege to bear witness to the spiritual growth that this remarkable academy catalyzed in my children, helping shape them into intelligent, Orthodox adults who take their faith seriously.

Right from our first interaction, the Academy stood out with its emphasis on a strong academic curriculum intertwined with a solid Orthodox Christian ethos. The quality of education that the Saint Andrew Academy provides is genuinely unparalleled. My children had the pleasure of extensively reading the classics, thereby offering them a deep insight into the foundational texts of our civilization, all the while in a nurturing, Orthodox Christian environment.

The educators' commitment to a discussion-based class structure significantly enhanced my children's learning experience. This method not only engaged the students effectively but also taught them the art of reasoning, critical thinking, and articulate expression, skills which I am confident they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Our son found a particular affinity for the choir and liturgical arts classes. These classes awakened in him a passion for singing and chanting, ultimately leading him to become a regular chanter at church.

Undoubtedly, the cornerstone of our experience was the intentional incorporation of Orthros at the beginning of each day. Starting the day with prayer orients the students towards pursuing the Kingdom of God, placing their education in the right context. Unlike public education, the students at Saint Andrew Academy never feel the need to separate their education from their liturgical life.

The fostering of deep, lasting relationships has been another invaluable benefit. The Saint Andrew Academy is not merely a school, but a warm, closely-knit community, one that extends beyond classrooms and supports the growth of its students.

In conclusion, the Saint Andrew Academy has bestowed upon our family a unique opportunity to reach their God-given intellectual, spiritual, moral, and physical potential. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Academy for its unwavering dedication to our children's education. We are confident that the foundation laid by the Academy will continue to guide them in their future endeavors. We wholeheartedly recommend the Saint Andrew Academy to any parent in search of a superior, well-rounded Orthodox Classical Christian education for their children.

Our two kids have been a part of this educational co-op since its founding. There is nothing I can say in this review that can sufficiently convey the impact that this beautiful community has had on our family. The teachers at Saint Andrew Academy are simultaneously loving and hold high academic expectations. Their truly classical approach has begun to form in our children a sense of wonder for our enchanted world.

I am deeply thankful that their approach is authentically and unapologetically Orthodox. There is no place more suitable for our children to be formed that in the shadow of this beautiful Church.
