School Notes Overview: |
"At SAS, education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." St. Andrew's-Sewanee offers small classes, individualized attention, a rigorous college preparatory program and the opportunity to enroll in college courses at the nearby University of the South. The scenic, 550-acre campus perched atop the Cumberland Plateau serves both as classroom/laboratory and the setting for a rich array of extracurricular experiences from traditional arts and athletics to mountain biking, climbing and caving.

Parents praise SAS for the enthusiasm of the faculty, staff and administration and the complete dedication to challenging their students to seek academic and personal success. Students love SAS because of the respect they receive from all members of the campus community, the lack of cliques, and the opportunities to "get off the bench" and participate in a wide variety of academic, athletic and artistic opportunities. Better than AP - Eligible students take courses for college credit at the University of the South, one of the top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. Grounded in the traditions of the Episcopal Church, St. Andrew's-Sewanee welcomes students of all traditions and celebrates diversity of faith and thought while encouraging students to search for a deeper understanding of life, purpose and service.
