WHAT MAKES ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL UNIQUE?
BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME.

WE ARE
RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL DESIGN.
WE ARE A SCHOOL VESTED IN
Our faculty meets weekly to share current research, best practices in boys’ learning, and innovative curriculum design. Their goal is to ensure our boys think critically, create and innovate, and love what they are doing.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO
AUTHENTIC LEARNING.
Gone are the days when learning was all about memorization. Using approaches like Harkness and project-based-learning, our students are consistently shown how to apply learning in real life, problem-solving contexts as they seek authentic connections between their curricular and real world problems.
