History
In 1952, The Reverend Scott Field Bailey and Bishop John Hines decided to start a new Episcopal School for all of Austin.
Three Episcopal congregations had existing preschools and were thinking of expanding. All Saints' had expanded its school to include first grade and both Good Shepherd and St. David's were thinking of expanding into the elementary grades as well. The Reverend Bailey and Bishop Hines believed one school should be created, not many, to serve students entering elementary school and established St. Andrew's as an Episcopal school that was not formally attached to one of the parishes: an Episcopal elementary school for all of Austin.
