Andorian classes are held at any time of the day or night as they have no set sleep cycle. Students sit in age groups and will all wear a tunic like uniform of brown. Young children learn to chant the history, legends and traditions of their people, thus memorizing this information at a young age. Older students wear a fitted brown uniform.

Andorians are divided not by countries or political boundaries, but by family and clan groups. The clans, known as ''keth'', each specialise in an area of expertise, as well as representing a portion of the Andorian government. Below is a sample of some major Andorian clans and their specialisms.

One Andorian clan of note is ''Reiji'', a near-forgotten clan who devote themselves to representing the old way of life. They have been known to take part in an archaic form of gambling in which they stake their own teeth.
Clans meet in keeps, underground fortresses that are formed either naturally in the case of volcanic caves, or else are man-made. A representative from each ''keth'', known as a Presider, is sent to represent the clan on the Andorian government.
The upper floor of council chamber contains an eight-sided room known as the Heroes’ antechamber. The Andorian Chancellor and the [[MA:United Federation of Planets|Federation]] Ambassador are both elected by members of the ''keth'' and serve on the Andorian government.
