St. Andrew's School was opened in the fall of 1970 by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church as an expression of its mission to the community of Fort Pierce. St. Andrew's welcomes children from all walks of life, regardless of race, creed, color, ethnic origin, or gender.

The school is dedicated to the philosophy of academic excellence and disciplined order in a Christian environment for children in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The traditional approach to education is emphasized in all subject areas and students are given a strong foundation of basic skills in the fundamentals. While emphasizing basic skills, faculty and staff also seek to employ a variety of methods which foster a positive attitude toward learning.

Enrichment classes are a vital component of the program and complement the academic curriculum.

The faculty and staff of St. Andrew's dedicate themselves to meeting the intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child. Discipline procedures assist children in expectations and the choices they possess.
