Safety and Security

St. Andrew's-Sewanee School is fortunate to be located in a rural and rather bucolic setting. The Sewanee police blotter rarely includes much beyond a loose dog or a stolen bicycle. But that doesn't mean we are complacent. A security detail checks all buildings at night. Students are required to check out when leaving campus either with the receptionist during the week or the teacher in charge on the weekends. On weekends, boarding students check in at lunch, dinner, and for floor reports at night.

Sewanee maintains its own police, fire and emergency medical services, including a wilderness rescue team. The closest hospital is less than a five-minute drive from campus and maintains a 24-hour emergency room and emergency air lift to Chattanooga and Nashville hospitals.
