St. Andrew's School for Girls is a private girls' boarding school situated in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.
History
St. Andrews's School for girls was founded in 1902 by two young scottish women,Jean Fletcher and Jessie Johnson, with a dream for creating a leading girls' school. Indeed their dream came true as St.Andrews is a leading girls school voted as "Best English High School","Best Private School for Girls" and "Best Nursery School" by the public in the popular newspaper The Star"your choice 2006" Poll. Initially St. Andrews school for girls was situated in Hospital Hill in an area now called Houghton. The two Scottish women later bought Bedford court, a large farm previoulsy owned by a business mogul of his time - Sir George Farrar. The house which is situated on Bedford farm was designed by an astounding architect, Sir Herbert Baker and still stands today as a national monument. St. Andrew's is home to 750 girls and is a private, christian, boarding school which boasts magnificent flora surroundings and various marvellous up-to-standard, world class resource facilities including an international astroturf.
The original motto, "Per Angusta Ad Augusta", has the meaning 'Through trials and tribulations to glory'. There is also a more recent motto for St. Andrews, "Skilled for Life".
Academics
There are normally around 750 pupils attending the school. St. Andrews Pupils write the Independent Examinations Board exams.
