The Schr\"odinger Functional (quantum/lattice field theory with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is a powerful tool in the non-perturbative improvement and for the study of other aspects of lattice QCD. Here we adapt it to improved gluon and quark actions, on isotropic as well as anisotropic lattices. Specifically, we describe the structure of the boundary layers, obtain the exact form of the classically improved gauge action, and outline the modifications necessary on the quantum level. The projector structure of Wilson-type quark actions determines which field components can be specified at the boundaries. We derive the form of O(a) improved quark actions and describe how the coefficients can be tuned non-perturbatively. There is one coefficient to be tuned for an isotropic lattice, three in the anisotropic case. Our ultimate aim is the construction of actions that allow accurate simulations of all aspects of QCD on coarse lattices.
