St Andrews Christian College is a coeducational school founded in 1983 by the Presbyterian Church. Situated in the suburb of Wantirna South on Tyner Road (130 Tyner Road, Wantirna South, Victoria, Australia).

St Andrews Christian College expresses a Christian and biblical perspective and approach in its curriculum and culture.[1] The College’s statement of faith represents the commonly held tenets of faith of the dozens of different Christian churches attended by the students and their families.

In 2010, the College moved to its present site to expand its Prep to Year 12 school in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs.[2] Currently there are families from over 35 different Protestant denominations attending the College.[3]

In 2013, then Opposition Leader, and later Prime Minister, Mr Tony Abbott and his wife, Mrs Abbott together with other dignitaries paid a visit to the College.[4]
