St. Andrew's School, Episcopal boarding school in Middletown, Delaware, United States.
St. Andrew's School is a boarding institution spread across an expansive campus in Middletown with classrooms, residential halls, and athletic facilities. The grounds center on academic buildings and a pond area used for environmental learning and recreational water activities.
The school was founded in 1929 to provide educational access to students from different economic backgrounds. In the 1970s, it opened enrollment to female students and transformed into a coeducational community.
The school carries the motto 'Pistis Kai Episteme,' which blends academic rigor with a close-knit community life. Visitors notice how this philosophy shapes daily interactions across campus, where teaching and learning happen side by side.
The campus welcomes day visitors, and it is best explored during school weeks when the grounds are active. Plan for plenty of time to walk through the different areas, as buildings are spread throughout the property.
The campus served as a filming location for the 1989 film 'Dead Poets Society' and appears in an episode of the television series 'The West Wing'. These Hollywood connections remain little known to many who pass through.
