	== History ==		== History ==
	St. Andrew's School was founded in 1961 by a group of parents and educators who sought to create a school that combined rigorous academic standards with a nurturing, faith-based environment. The institution's origins trace back to the growing demand for quality education in the rapidly expanding [[Boca Raton]] area, which had seen a surge in population due to post-World War II migration and the rise of the [[Palm Beach County]] real estate market. The first classes were held in temporary facilities before the construction of the main campus, which was completed in 1964. Over the decades, the school has expanded its programs, infrastructure, and outreach, while maintaining its core values of service, leadership, and intellectual growth.

	A ~~pivotal moment in the school's history came in the 1980s, when it underwent a major renovation to modernize its facilities~~ and ~~introduce new academic disciplines, including advanced placement courses and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs. This period also saw the establishment of the~~ St. Andrew's School ~~Foundation, which has since funded scholarships, research initiatives~~, ~~and community outreach projects~~. ~~In the 21st century, the~~ school ~~has continued to evolve~~, ~~integrating technology into its curriculum~~ and ~~expanding its global partnerships through exchange programs and international competitions. According to a 2023 article in~~ the [[Palm Beach ~~Post~~]]~~, the school's alumni network has grown to include over 10,000 graduates, many of whom have become leaders in fields ranging from medicine to the arts~~.		A group of parents and educators founded St. Andrew's School in 1961. They wanted something different: rigorous academics paired with a nurturing, faith-based environment. The school emerged from a real need. [[Boca Raton]] was expanding rapidly after World War II, driven by migration and the booming [[Palm Beach County]] real estate market. Demand for quality education was climbing fast.

	~~== Geography ==~~		Early classes met in temporary buildings before the main campus opened in 1964. From there, the school kept growing. It expanded its programs and infrastructure while staying true to its core values: service, leadership, and intellectual growth.
	~~St. Andrew's School is situated~~ in the ~~[[Boca Raton]] neighborhood of Delray Beach, a region known for its affluent communities, cultural institutions, and proximity to the [[Atlantic Ocean]]~~. ~~The campus is located on a 100-acre site along the western edge of the city~~, ~~bordered by~~ the ~~[[Boca Raton Country Club]] to the north and the [[Boca Raton Museum of Art]] to the south~~. ~~This strategic location allows students to engage with the surrounding area's rich cultural~~ and ~~recreational resources, from art galleries and theaters~~ to ~~parks and beaches. The school's proximity to major highways~~, ~~including [[Interstate 95]] and [[State Road 7]]~~, ~~ensures easy access for students~~ and ~~visitors from across [[Palm Beach County]]~~.

	The ~~campus itself is a blend of natural beauty and architectural innovation, featuring rolling lawns, mature trees, and a central quad that serves as a gathering space for students and faculty~~. The school~~'s buildings~~, including ~~the main academic complex~~, ~~performing arts center~~, ~~and athletic facilities~~, ~~are designed to promote both learning~~ and ~~well-being~~. ~~Surrounding~~ the ~~campus are several [[Parks and Recreation]] areas, including [[Boca Raton Park]]~~, which ~~offers trails~~, ~~picnic areas~~, and ~~sports fields~~. ~~The geography of~~ the ~~region also supports~~ the school~~'s environmental education~~ programs~~, which emphasize sustainability~~ and ~~conservation~~. ~~As noted~~ in ~~a 2022 report by~~ the [[Palm Beach ~~Daily News~~]], the school's ~~location in [[Boca Raton]]~~ has ~~allowed it~~ to ~~become a hub for community engagement~~, ~~hosting events that draw participants from across~~ the ~~[[West Palm Beach]] metropolitan area~~.		The 1980s brought major change. The school renovated its facilities and added new academic disciplines, including advanced placement courses and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs. That same decade saw the creation of the St. Andrew's School Foundation, which has since funded scholarships, research initiatives, and community outreach projects. Into the 21st century, the school integrated technology throughout its curriculum and built global partnerships through exchange programs and international competitions. A 2023 article in the [[Palm Beach Post]] noted that the school's alumni network has grown to over 10,000 graduates, many now leaders in medicine, the arts, and other fields.
