- St Andrew’s was founded in 1902.
- It is situated in beautiful, park-like grounds in Bedfordview, 15 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport.
- Transport is available for girls living in the northern and southern suburbs of Johannesburg and in the Benoni area.
- Home to 900 girls – a deeply caring community providing a haven of security and love and a wealth of opportunities.
- Our modern, spacious boarding house is home to 80 girls from grade 8 to grade 12 who live locally, nationally and internationally.
E
ducation is a window to the world and for this reason our approach (from Grade 0 to Grade 12) is a holistic one. Our academic programme is challenging and imaginative, designed to foster intellectual curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. It is essential that all in our charge are equipped to take on the challenges of change and progress.

- Pupils write the Independent Examinations Board National Senior Certificate.
- The majority of our students continue with tertiary education in South Africa or abroad.
- St Andrew’s strength lies in its staff/pupil ratio, with classes rarely exceeding 27 girls.
- Importance is placed on each learner’s personal development.
- We strive to empower each pupil, based on the values of respect, trust, integrity and responsibility through a Students’ Representative Council. Each senior girl serves on a task team during her final year at St Andrew’s.
- The school offers a wide variety of cultural and sporting activities. Sport is a vital facet of daily life at the school and we offer: swimming, diving, rowing, hockey, netball, athletics, tennis, squash and netball. We also have a very successful equestrian team.
- Each pupil has access to the latest multimedia technology.
- As a Christian school, St Andrew’s believes in the need to care. This spirit is nowhere better illustrated than in our dynamic Outreach facility, Ubambiswano, which assists in the development of both staff and pupils from various schools in Daveyton and Etwatwa.
- All girls are required to attend Chapel services, which are interdenominational.
