Homeschool Umbrella Program

 Since 1992, St. Andrew’s School at Wears Valley Ranch has achieved remarkable success working with students from diverse backgrounds in a tutorial program.  This model of individualized education has allowed remedial students to regain lost ground and other students to enter college as early as fifteen years of age.  By developing a Homeschool Umbrella Program, it is our desire to reach out to homeschooling families and expand our educational program beyond the bounds of our campus.
