St. Andrew’s College is about life preparation. Whether you are a keen student, a strong athlete, a bagpiper or drummer, or actor or artist, our students embody the well-rounded boy who wants to become involved. Whether you aspire to be the Captain of 1st Rugby your final year, are trying out for the school play, or are drum major in the band (or all three), we encourage our students to try new things to see where their passions lie. As one of Canada’s oldest all-boys boarding and day schools, we help our students realize their full potential in the classroom, on the stage and on the playing fields through the encouragement of supportive faculty, housemasters and peers. Our alumni go on to attend top universities around the world and continue to be contributing members of their communities for years to come.
