The Potomac Village Campus (Lower School campus), for preschool through grade 2, is located at 10033 River Road in Potomac, MD. St. Andrew's provides a challenging coeducational college preparatory program for preschool through twelfth grade in an inclusive environment that embodies the faith and perspective of the Episcopal Church.
As of 2017, total enrollment is 585, with an average of 15 students per class and a student to faculty ratio of 6:1. Approximately 40% of the students are students of color.
Upper School students normally take five major academic courses per year. Courses include English, History, Language, Mathematics, and Science. In addition, Religion is required once each year. The whole school runs on a trimester schedule, each trimester lasting 12 weeks. Both year-length and trimester-length classes are available. As a result of the school's long-running Oral History program, St. Andrew's holds the largest pre-collegiate collection of oral histories. Other signature programs include the International Development & Social Entrepreneurship class and the CTTL Student Fellows program.
The school is a member of College Entrance Examination Board, Cum Laude Society, National Association of College Admissions Counseling, National Association of Independent Schools, National Association of Episcopal Schools, and Potomac & Chesapeake Association of College Admissions Counseling. It is fully accredited by the Association of Independent Maryland Schools, Maryland State Department of Education, and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Advanced Placement classes are available in 14 different disciplines.
St. Andrew's occupies two campuses. St. Andrew’s Upper, Middle, and Intermediate Schools are located on a 20-acre campus in the suburban residential community of Potomac, approximately 15 miles from the District of Columbia. The Lower School, which contains preschool through Grade 2, is located on River Road in Potomac Village.
The Postoak Campus, once historic Clagett Farm and later the campus of Harker Preparatory School, occupies one of the highest points in Potomac. The original farmhouse, constructed in 1810, was preserved and is used for administrative offices. Next to this house is scenic Bruder Garden. MacDonald Hall, a multi-purpose theater/assembly/lunch space, features a stage and light/sound booth. In the Main Building, there are classrooms, laboratories, two studios for the visual arts, including ceramics wheels and a kiln, and a darkroom. The library holds 14,000 volumes and a design lab offers makerspace with tools including a laser cutter, 3D printer, and router.
