PROPERTY
The School buildings are located on a point overlooking Noxontown
Pond, two miles from the center of Middletown, twenty-five
miles south of Wilmington, and about sixty miles from Philadelphia.
The surrounding country is rich farm land, of many historic associations
with Colonial Delaware and Revolutionary times.
The main building, a modern fireproof unit, provides complete
accommodations for a hundred and seventeen boys. The younger
boys sleep in cubicles in open dormitories, the older boys in double
rooms. There are also the Headmaster's House, eight masters'
houses, a three-family annex, the Gymnasium, two boat houses, a
Laundry Building, and a Maintenance Building. The Gymnasium
houses a large basketball floor, a wrestling room, four squash 'courts,
a rowing machine room, four small dormitories housing approximately
thirty boys, and locker and shower accommodations for the
whole School.
The property comprises three hundred and fifty acres, most of
which is under cultivation. On one edge the property is bounded
by Noxon town Pond,. which is. two miles long, and on. another by
Silver Lake, three-quarters of a mile in length. The entire property
is posted as a sanctuary for birds, animals, and plants.
On the School grounds are five football fields, three separate
baseball diamonds, and six tennis courts. The School has its own
piers on Noxontown Pond. The waters of this lake are well known
fishing grounds and provide good swimming and sailing. They are
suited to rowing, which has been conducted on an organized scale
since 1932.
Besides the School plant there is the Farm, operated by the
School as a separate unit. It includes a large farm house, a modem
cow bam and horse stable, and numerous farm buildings.
With its herd and stables, and nearly three hundred acres available
for cultivation, the Farm contributes largely to the School in food
and has facilities for horseback riding.
7

Purpose
As stated by the founder, the late Alexis Felix du Pont, the purpose
of St. Andrew's School is to provide secondary education
of a definitely Christian character, at the minimum cost consistent
with modern equipment and the highest standards. The teaching
and conduct of the School are based on the Christian religion.
All boys are expected to take part in the School's worship and
religious education, which are in accordance with the practice
and principles of the Protestant Episcopal Church; but
membership in another religious body will not
exclude an applicant from admission.
8

CHAPEL
A boy entering the School becomes a member of a community
living according to the general pattern of a Christian family. Its
ideal of conduct is mutual trust and love, simplicity of life, and
the sharing of responsibilities and opportunities. This idea is
expressed and nurtured by the School's religious life, which centres
in the Chapel.
In the Chapel, which is a large room in the Main Building with
pew accommodations for over two hundred, a short service is held
every evening, Monday through Friday. On Sundays and Holy
Days there is an early celebration of Holy Communion, and on
Sundays, except the first Sunday of each month, a late Service of
Morning Prayer and sermon. The School is in the Parish of St.
Anne's, Middletown, founded 1705, of which the Rev. Kenneth
Clarke is rector.
The Vestry of the Chapel is elected from among the boys, and
acts as the representative council of the student body. There are
also a student Choir, Altar Guild, Acolytes' Guild, and Sunday
School for faculty children. Members of the Sixth Form read the
lessons at Evening Prayer. The ladies of the School community
maintain an active branch of the Woman's Auxiliary.
St. Andrew's is the Diocesan School of the Diocese of Delaware.
In addition to the regular Sacred Studies classes, special instruction
for Confirmation is given to those desiring it. The Bishop of
Delaware visits the School in the winter for Confirmation, but boys
expecting to be confirmed in their home churches will gladly be
given preparation at School if their parents and rectors so request.
9

HEALTH
On the third floor of the main building are a large Ifirmary,
an office, and the quarters for the resident nurses. There is no
Infirmary charge but each boy will be charged an actual cost fee
for materials or medicines used.
It is imperative that each new boy present a School Medical .
Certificate filled out by his private physician in conjunction with
his parents or guardian before entering the school. The visiting
physician in charge is Dr. Walter E. Lee of Middletown, whose
office is equipped with x-ray, cardiograph, fluoroscope, laboratory,
and other modern equipment. Wihnington hospitals and specialists
are accessible if needed. The Head Nurse, with her assistant,
attempts to keep all boys at the highest possible health level. A
vigilant watch is kept on the health of each boy, the object being
prevention of illness. The Head Nurse, or her assistant, is on call
24 hours each day and at all times works under the direction of
the physician in charge.
W. S. P. Combs, D.D.S. of Middletown is available for emergency
dental work. Each boy is expected to have routine dental work
attended to before coming to school and during vacations.
ENTERTAINMENT
At times during the year entertainments are given by the boys
themselves. The Criss-Cross Club, the School dramatic society,
presents at least one play and sponsors other plays and entertainments
each year.
Illustrated lectures and recitals are given by visiting artists, and
every Saturday evening there is a feature-length motion picture
or other entertainment at the School.
A spacious temporary auditorium was completed in 1941 and
is used for entertainment programs and the School's visual education
program. During the spring term the School Band presents
concerts in the auditorium and occasionally furnishes dinner music
in the main dining room.
The boys are welcomed in the homes of members of the faculty.
Enjoyable features of the winter and spring terms are dances
given by the upper forms and attended by the boys and their
guests.
10

ATHLETICS AND RECREATION
All boys are expected to take part in the organized sports in
season and to be outdoors every afternoon except when the regular
squads practice in the Gymnasium.
The coaching is done entirely
by the masters; careful attention is given to the lower teams and
to the less proficient players as well as to the "varsity'' teams.
The School is a member of the Inter-state Academic Conference
and participates in inter-scholastic "varsity" contests with the other
member schools.
In the fall all boys play football, unless excused for medical
reasons by doctors' orders.
The older boys' squads play interscholastic
games, and the younger boys, intra-mural series.
After
the football season, there are soccer, touch-football, riding, and for
those who elect the work, woodchopping and other general service
jobs.
In the winter there are organized teams in basketball, wrestling,
squash, and later, crew. Whenever possible, there are skating, hockey
and ice-boating on an informal but supervised basis.
Facilities are
provided for shuffie-board, deck tennis, badminton, volley ball and
.
ptng-pong.
In the spring there are baseball, crew, and tennis squads.
golf, sailing, riding are offered on an informal basis.
Track,
The rowing
equipment includes four-oared shells and gigs in which the "varsity"
participates in outside races, eight-oared shells, pair-oared gigs,
doubles and singles, which are used for training and intra-mural
contests.
the water.
A coaching launch is used whenever the crews are on
The St. Andrew's School Yacht Club is a member of the Interscholastic
Yacht Racing Association, participating in the annual
regattas of that organization.
Recreational sailing and practice
races are held on Noxontown Pond throughout the spring, using
the sailing dinghy and "Blue Jays", which are school owned and
cared for by the Yacht Club.
In all athletics the emphasis is on the development of sportsmanship
and the enjoyment of the game as much as on the acquiring
of skills, strength, and endurance.
11

JOB SYSTEM
It is the aim of the School to instill a sense of pride in a task
well done, as well as to keep its life simple and economical. This is
achieved in great part by the boys assuming much of the care of
grounds and buildings, their own rooms, and the service of pantry
and dining-room.
The work is divided equally and jobs are changed every third
week of term. The time thus consumed averages about thirty
minutes daily. Supervision and inspection of jobs are carried on
by the Sixth Form under the general direction of a faculty member.
Training in supervision is accomplished by rotation of Fifth
Formers as supervisors on Saturdays.
THE LIBRARY
The library plays an important part in the intellectual and
recreational activities of the School.
Open at all times, except
during Chapel services, it is supervised by a trained librarian with
the assistance of a volunteer staff of boys selected from all Forms.
The library houses a well-balanced collection of more than 5000
volumes, including an adequate reference section.
about 35 selected periodicals and 4 daily newspapers.
It also provides

DISCIPLINE
The School goes on the assumption that it is as important to
reward good conduct as to penalize bad conduct.
Disciplinary
policies and procedures are worked out by a committee composed of
faculty members and boys.
The good order and morale of the
School are regarded as a responsibility of both groups.
The discipline
system is predicated on the maximum assumption of responsibility
and initiative on the part of the individual boy.
Routine
punishments are avoided wherever possible in favor of positive,
constructive, on the spot corrections of irregularities.
Faculty
Advisors are expected to assist boys in developing the will and
ability to discharge their full social obligation as members of the
school community.

CURRICULUM
Lessons in piano and other instruments are given to boys whose
parents request lessons. No charge is made for these to boys whose
seriousness of purpose and progress in music warrant it.
During the winter and spring terms remedial reading is given
all boys who need it.
One-third credit is given for Sacred Studies in t4e Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth Forms, total not to exceed one credit.
Courses are listed by form, but boys will frequently take one or
more courses out of form, depending on his preparation in a particular
subject, or on the college entrance requirements which he
is satisfying. The School reserves the right to place a boy forward
or back, as his best interests require.
Beginning with the Fourth Form there is a widening choice of
subjects, but the School does not recommend nor do the colleges
desire over-specialization in any particular field.
Integrally related to the regular instruction is the voluntary
work of enthusiasts who form the boards of the School publications
and the membership of the Criss-Cross Club, Stamp Club, Rifle
Club, Science Club, Camera Club, Press Club, Radio Club, and
Yacht Club. The School Band, Dance Band, Choir, and Glee
Club are part of the musical training which is offered to all boys
through the courses in Music.
To receive the School's diploma a boy must have fifteen credits.
These credits must include three in English, two in algebra, one in
plane geometry, two m a foreign language, and one each in history
and science.
St. Andrew's is on the accredited list of the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, United States Military
and Naval Academies, and the State Board of Education. Sixth
Formers are encouraged to take the examinations of the College
Entrance Examination Board.
14

For most subjects the forms meet in small divisions which enable
close individual attention. The average size of classes is eleven
boys.
Attention is directed first to the necessity of mastery of the fundamental
subjects, but thorough drilling is combined with the effort
to present material in an attractive and stimulating way, and to
encourage boys to learn for themselves. Educational moving pictures
are frequently used.
The progress of each boy is carefully followed through the system
of faculty advisors. A boy who is in temporary difficulties with
his work will receive special help, but this cannot be extended to
become regular tutoring.
Reports are sent home at regular intervals six times during the
year.

Remedial Reading
For those boys whose tests show weakness in reading mechanics and
techniques, the Harvard Reading Films are used, and in the lower forms
organized drill and spelling reviews are given; but the remedial course should
not be construed as dealing adequately with specific reading disabilities.
Library Science
All boys are instructed in the essentials of library usage. A brief, intensive
course, based upon a graded outline, covers general orientation in
the Second Form, and stresses the effective use of the card catalog, magazine
indexes, encyclopedias, yearbooks, and other general reference books in
the remaining Forms. Boys who fail the final test must meet the minimum
requirements by doing additional work.
20

ADMISSION
When application for admission is made, the application form
is filed until the spring of the year in which entrance is desired.
There is an application fee of $5.00, payable at the time formal
application is made, and credited to an applicant's incidentals
account if he is enrolled in the School; otherwise the fee is retained
by the School. The fitness of a candidate for admission is determined
on the basis of his previous school record and entrance tests
given at St. Andrew's in April (see calendar), and for late applicants
at such dates as may be convenient. Formal notice of acceptance
or rejection is then given. No boy can be officially accepted
before these preliminaries.
The entrance tests are designed to test the candidate's ability
and preparation to carry on successfully the work of the form for
which he is applying.
Tests for entrance to the Second Form cover proficiency in reading
and writing, familiarity with the elements of English grammar,
and arithmetic through percentage. Tests for the higher forms
cover all subjects which the applicant expects to continue here,
primarily, English, mathematics, and languages, ancient and modem.
Most new boys will be admitted to the Second and Third Forms.
In some cases boys may be admitted to the Fourth and even the
Fifth Form; but the curriculum is not planned for boys wishing to
take one or two years of boarding school before entering college.
Only those applicants who are in the highest quarter of their
class scholastically will be considered for the two lowest tuition
classes. Application for the $500 $750 and $1000 tuition classes
will be considered only if received by April 15th of the year
applied for.
21

EXPENSES
The School aims to make its advantages available not only to
families of large income but also to the sons of the Clergy, officers
of the Army and Navy, and members of occupations and professions
from which the financial return is moderate. The system of
tuition fees provides a scale of five different fees, each with its
quota of places in the School. Every boy who enters St. Andrew's
School receives financial aid in a sense, for even the highest tuition
does not cover the school's expenses for cost of operation per year
per boy. According to the ability of their parents to pay, and to
the vacancies in each group, new boys are accepted for tuitions
of $500, $750, $1000, $1250 or $1500. The tuition fee paid for
each boy is confidential and has no effect on his status and privileges
in the School.
Before a boy's application is filed in a certain tuition group, his
parents must give satisfactory evidence that this is the highest fee
which they may reasonably be expected to pay. From the applications
entered in each tuition group the quota of that group will be
filled on the basis of entrance tests, previous school record, and
general promise.
For the year 1950- 1951 the following vacancies are expected in
each tuition group: 2 at $500, 7 at $750, 10 at $1000, 12 at $1250,
9 at $1500.
The tuition fee covers tuition, board, lodging, and laundry. It is
payable in two installments, on October 1st and February 1st; or
it may be paid in nine monthly payments, the first to be twenty per
cent of the total amount due, and each succeeding payment to be
ten per cent. A handling charge of 3 per cent of the tuition fee
will be made to those who use the monthly payment plan.
No rebate is allowed for dismissal or withdrawal for any cause.
It has been arranged, however, that parents may take out Tuition
Refund Plan Insurance, covering absence from classes when caused
by illness, accident or contagion. Insurance covering medical expense
incurred through accidents and illness may also be taken out.
These forms of protection are recommended as inexpensive and
valuable.
22

In the case of a new boy an accepted application which is not
cancelled before July 15th of the year applied for will be taken as
the applicants contract to pay the first half of the tuition. An
accepted application left uncancelled by September 1st will be
taken to render the applicant liable for payment of the full amount
of the tuition.
In the case of an old boy failure on the part of his parents to
notify the School by July 15th of his expected withdrawal will be
taken as the applicant>s contract to pay the first half of the tuition.
If the School is not notified by September 1st of his expected withdrawal
it will consider the applicant liable for payment of the full
amount of tuition.
In addition to the regular tuition fee there are such incidental
expenses as weekly allowance, textbooks, athletic equipment, travel
fares and breakage charges. It is the policy of the School to keep
all extra charges at the absolute minimum, and with reasonable
economy a boy should be able to keep his incidental expenditures
within $125 a year.
Parents are asked to deposit at least seventy-five dollars to a
boy's incidentals account at the beginning of the year. A boy
must have a balance of seventy-five dollars before he begins to
draw on his incidentals account. He then draws against this
through his School check book and is required to receive the approval
of his advisor for all but minor e}\.lJenditures.
IT IS URGENTLY REQUESTED THAT PARENTS DO NOT SEND THEIR
SONS EXTRA SPENDING MONEY AND THAT ALL DEPOSITS TO A BOYS
ACCOUNT BE SENT DIRECT TO THE SCHOOL BANK.
VISITING
Visitors are welcome at all times, especially after terms are a few
weeks underway. There are usually accomodations at the School,
and accommodations may always be arranged at the School Farm.
Write directly to Mrs. Samuel DeBoer, St. Andrew's School Farm,
Middletown, Delaware. Meals are always available in the School
dining room while School is in session.
23

GENERAL REGULATIONS
In their association with each other and the older members of
the school community, boys are expected to be guided by their
highest sense of right and justice according to the general pattern
of a Christian family. The School reserves the right to dismiss
any boy whose scholarship, conduct, or cooperation is unsatisfactory.
The school rules and regulations are fully listed in the
HANDBOOK. A few major rules and principles are as follows :
Uninterrupted attendance is of the utmost importance. Weekend
absences are granted to each boy under definite regulations,
Sixth Formers and boys with Honor Group standing scholastically
being granted greater privileges than others. Parents are
urgently requested to cooperate with the School and not to make
further requests for their son's absence except in the case of
absolute necessity.
The possession of, or the use of, intoxicating liquors is strictly
forbidden. and is subject to serious disciplinary action.
Firearms, explosives, tobacco in any form, bicycles, and pets are
not allowed at the School, except as specially permitted under
specific school regulations.
Boys are not permitted to ride in cars, except when with a
member of the School faculty or staff on official school business.
The School colors are Cardinal and White.
There is ample opportunity to buy candy and other light
refreshments at the School Store and in The Bailing Room, a
canteen operated by the Woman's Auxiliary. Parents are requested
not to send their sons any food except on special occasions
such as birthdays, and then to send such special gifts in
care of their son's advisor.
The School maintains a Store from which boys may purchase
books, stationery, athletic equipment, candy, and supplies of
various kinds at little more than cost price. Boys are advised
to bring old clothes and used athletic outfits with them, but in
general to postpone the purchase of new athletic equipment
until they can procure it from The Store.
24

EQUIPMENT
Dress requirements are very simple.
To insure that his appearance
will be ·neat, clean and orderly at all times, a boy should
have at St. Andrew's about the same wardrobe that he has in his
own well ordered home. It is suggested that each boy bring at
least the following articles:
1 overcoat
1 raincoat
1 hat or cap
1 dark suit for Sundays and
special occasions
2 suits for everyday use and
extra flannel, corduroy,
khaki slacks
1 light sweater
1 heavy sweater or windbreaker
8 shirts

6 sets underwear
3 pair pajamas
1 dozen pair socks
1 dozen handkerchiefs
1 bathrobe
1 pair slippers
1 pair rubbers or galoshes
1 pair heavy gloves
1 pair swimming trunks
4 sheets 72" x 108" 6 bath towels
3 pillowcases 36" x 42" 6 wash cloths
3 blankets and comforter 2 large laundry bags
The following articles are suggested : ice skates, tennis racquet,
squash racquet, baseball glove. If a boy wears glasses, he should
bring two pairs to be prepared for an emergency. All boys are
expected to have a Bible.
Each article must be conspicuously marked with a printed
name tape (sewed on four sides) bearing the owner's name
as it appears on his application. Extra name tapes should
be left with the Housekeeper for use during the school year.
The following marking locations are suggested:
On the inside of collar band at back of neck of shirts, coats, etc.
On the inside left front top edge of trousers and pants.
On the inside top, vertically, on socks.
On the right side of a comer of linen so that tape is visible when
the article is folded.

All luggage must have a name tag attached to the handle, and
must be marked inside with the owner's name and address.
