St. Andrew’s-Sewanee students Thomas Stapleton and Harrison Hartman prepare for their “This I Believe” presentations, a rite of passage for eighth graders at the school.
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, a co-ed, Episcopal, college preparatory, day and boarding school in Sewanee, is expanding its boarding program in Fall 2017 to include 5-day boarding for grades 8-12.
“We have had increasing requests in recent years for a 5-day boarding option and for expansion of our boarding program to the 8th grade,” said Anneke Skidmore, Director of Admissions. “Our five-day boarding program will help us to serve the growing number of families in the region who are interested in a weekday residential academic program for their child in grades 8-12 but who are not yet ready for full-time boarding. It’s also an excellent option for students who have weekend obligations in their hometown for club sports or church and service activities.” Five-day boarding tuition will be $40,000 for the 2017-18 school year. Full-time boarding tuition is $46,600.
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School welcomes students from across the United States and more than a dozen countries with the majority of students coming from Middle Tennessee and the Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, and Birmingham metropolitan regions.
The school, which traces its history to 1868, is located on 550-acres on the Cumberland Plateau and makes extensive use of its campus for classes and recreational opportunities. SAS benefits from a strong relationship with the University of the South which allows qualified juniors and seniors to take college courses for free and for credit. It was recently named one of the Most Beautiful High Schools in the South by Southern Living magazine.
