The late Alexander D. Henderson Jr., a retired Avon Products, Inc. executive, and his wife, Lucy (Lucia Maria Ernst), provided significant private donations during the early years. The School opened on September 21, 1962, with 122 students from as far away as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and several states including Michigan, New York, and Ohio.
Girls were admitted in 1972 after which the school transitioned from a boarding school to a mix of boarding and day students. Saint Andrew's School added a Lower School in 2000 and a Junior Kindergarten program in 2008.
