We offer Open Houses on both campuses during the fall for visitors to see the school, take a tour, talk with faculty members, and hear our students and administrators talk about St. Andrew's.  One is held during the school week in November so visitors can see classes in session, and one is held on a Saturday in December for those who prefer weekend tours.

Preschool (age 2) - Grade 3 (Potomac Village Campus)

The format is the same for all open houses - 9 AM to noon.  Tours are offered at 9 AM and 11 AM; information session at 10 AM.  Parents and students are welcome to attend Postoak Campus Open Houses.  Generally, parents (not students) attend Open Houses at the Potomac Village Campus.  Reservations are not necessary for the Open Houses.
