When students graduate from St. Andrew's, they have the opportunity to walk away with much more than a diploma. Our seniors may graduate with the distinction of Scholar, Artist, Athlete, or Servant, or all four. They may be also be considered for any of the five unique class awards and for prizes in each academic department.
DISTINCTIONS
At graduation, a student may receive up to four special distinctions:
Scholar: The student's senior project and general academic record are judged outstanding by a panel of faculty.
Artist: The student has a distinguished upperclass record in the arts, both curricular and extracurricular.
Athlete: The student has a record of distinguished participation on at least two teams in both the junior and senior years.
Servant: The student has completed at least 100 hours of community service after the end of grade 10. Please consult the Guidelines for Servant Distinction for details.
