HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO GET TO ST. ANDREW’S? Dawn McCarley, director of Upper School admissions, has noticed a sharp spike in admission inquiries following St. Andrew’s recognition as one of the top 20 private or independent schools in the United States. McCarley has received inquiries from all over Mississippi, as well as from other states. A family from Michigan contacted McCarley to discuss their plans to relocate to the South; they were considering a move to Mississippi based on the opportunity to send their children to St. Andrew’s. McCarley has also received international inquiries from as far away as Paris, France, from families looking for the perfect school to send their children for a semester in the United States.
