Alexander Clark Institute of Advanced Studies

It's more than a class. It's an Experience.

In 7th grade at St. Andrew’s, Alexander Clark '00 had the idea for a company. That idea is now known as Technolutions, where he stands at the helm of innovation as its founder and CEO.

Technolutions is best known for Slate, a technology platform that powers admissions and advancement offices at more than 1300 colleges and universities around the world. Alexander's success and drive serve as a model for St. Andrew's students, inspiring them to explore and innovate beyond the classroom, and to discover the endless possibilities that lay before them.
