During the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Andrew's did not reopen.
This overstates the 2020 closure. St. Andrew's own September 2020 update says students were back in the classroom, both in person and virtually, so the school did reopen during the pandemic.
Full reasoning
The wording here is stronger than the evidence supports.
The source Wikipedia cites for this sentence was a July 2020 news report about fall 2020 plans, not a claim that St. Andrew's never reopened during the pandemic. CBS summarized that reporting by saying the school "will not fully reopen in the fall" and that it was considering either full-time distance learning or a hybrid model.
St. Andrew's own website then published a September 2020 classroom update stating: "What an exciting and successful first couple of weeks back to school!" It also says students were "getting back into the classroom, both in-person and virtually." That directly contradicts the blanket statement that the school "did not reopen" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A more accurate phrasing would be that the school initially said it would not fully reopen for fall 2020, not that it never reopened during the pandemic.
