WHAT MAKES ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL UNIQUE?

BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME.

There is compelling evidence to suggest boys and girls learn differently. We are a school that focuses on the specific needs of boys while ensuring that each of our students has a global mindset.

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.
