| College educated, professional teachers | We have many more state certified teachers than the State of New Jersey requires. |
| Small class size | We have a better teacher : child ratio than the state requires (i.e. fewer children per teacher and more individual attention for each child). |
| A well-rounded program | With emphasis on first-hand experiences through teacher–planned activities in our classrooms as well as in our large, one acre, state-of-the-art outdoor playground, well equipped indoor playroom and full-size gymnasium. |

Accreditation of the school has been granted by the State of Jersey on the basis of facilities, equipment, personnel, program of instruction, sanitation and fire protection.
Testimonials
I am so thrilled that Jake was able to attend your school. The program and teachers have been wonderful. Jake is thriving under your care. I can see the excitement in his eyes at the dinner table when we talk about his day. I can see why your school was voted “South Jersey’s Best”. I will refer parents to you whenever I can with no hesitation. Thanks again for everything.
Warm regards,
Sue Bonaventura
This year the Transitional Kindergarten Class was wonderful. Evan had a great year. He learned a lot, had fun and made new friends. I couldn’t be happier. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Fallon are not only great teachers, but just great ladies. I can’t say enough positive things about you, your staff, your school…I will truly miss St. Andrew’s next year.
Sincerely,
Kim Heebner
Just another chance to say “thank you” for all of the big and little things you do that make St. Andrew’s the special school it is and has been for so many families. I will always treasure my memories of my children being here.
With much gratitude,

Megan was exactly where she needed to be…in an environment that was warm and nurturing yet firm and instructional. (The teachers) have worked with Megan on her fundamentals and have thus given her a strong foundation for her career in the public schools. She has blossomed this year. Her self-confidence and self-esteem are strong and healthy. This year at St. Andrew’s was truly a gift to our Megan. Thank you so very much for everything.
Most sincerely,
Debbie Murphy
We wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience here at St. Andrew’s. What Gabrielle has gained both academically and socially these last two years is immeasurable. Her teachers have been wonderful. They should be commended.
Sincerely,
JoAnna Martin
