About St. Andrew's College

St. Andrew's College (SAC) is an independent, all-boys preparatory school for grades 5-12. Located 40 minutes north of Toronto in the town of Aurora, our 110-acre campus is home to a mix of 570 residential and day students. SAC offers a rigorous academic curriculum with multiple Advanced Placement (AP) opportunities, and a rich, activity-based educational environment. A wireless tablet program adds to the learning experience, incorporating the latest technology into the classroom. We welcome boys from around the world with strong academic backgrounds who also want to become active members of our community. As set out in our mission statement, SAC's academic program is complemented by a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities designed to develop 'the complete man, the well-rounded citizen. All boys participate in our extensive athletic program (56 teams across 22 sports) and the 106-year-old Cadet Corps. Many of our students also choose to participate in SAC's internationally acclaimed arts, drama and music programs, and are active in photography, SAC TV, community outreach and more. A St. Andrew's education is like no other. Graduates gain entry to top universities in Canada, the U.S. and abroad, and are renowned for their strong values, dedication to community, lasting achievements and lifelong friendships.
