Online Checklist

To help make the application process as simple as possible, the Admission Office assigns all candidates who submit an online inquiry for the upcoming admission year a username to access their St. Andrew’s School account. This account includes an online application checklist and electronic access to the candidate’s admission decision on March 10.
 
Log on to your account and click on the Admission Progress tab to view the candidate’s application checklist. When you are ready to apply, simply click on Fill Out to activate St. Andrew’s online application. The checklist should be reviewed and checked regularly. Each item on the checklist will have a green check mark next to the item once application materials have been received and processed. Applications and supporting application materials are processed in a timely manner; however, processing may take several weeks from December through January when volume is high.  

Please note that if you submit the St. Andrew's School application, you should not also submit the SAO (standard application online), as only one application may be accepted and processed using our online system. 

St. Andrew's School asks that you submit all application materials in advance of the February 1 application deadline.
