At Saint George, we understand that academic results are just one component of what’s needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world. That’s why – both in and beyond our curriculum – we offer a multitude of programs that nurture our students’ all-round development and teach an array of important skills.
Whether it’s representing our school at an international sports tournament or leading a debate at a global Model United Nations Conference, our students benefit from life-changing opportunities to work as a team and showcase their talents. Your child will demonstrate empathy, resilience, and kindness in support of local charities and community projects, too. Our carefully curated afternoon program, meanwhile – which features more than 30 extra-curricular activities – is the perfect time to discover new passions.
Exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF transform every Nord Anglia Education student’s experience.
Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
Our students represent the Saint George family with pride at sporting tournaments across the continent – and beyond. As well as showcasing their talents, each competition is an opportunity for our sporting stars to realize the importance of hard work, determination, and overcoming adversity.
Competitions include the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) Americas Global Games. This exciting event, held at one of our sister schools, emulates the spirit of the Olympics, fostering friendly competition and camaraderie among athletes of all abilities.
The NAE Junior Global Games, meanwhile, is a life-changing experience for our younger students, who may be travelling abroad for the first time. Taking part in this five-day competition develops confidence and independence, while also fostering a sense of togetherness and team spirit.
Our students possess an incredible range of talents, and we encourage them to showcase these on a global stage.
Every competition offers a unique opportunity to excel, as our young people demonstrate their skills in a chosen area of interest. At the Harvard National Forensics Tournament, for example, our students take part in debates and public speaking competitions alongside peers from around the world.
Young engineers of all ages compete in the FIRST LEGO League, which involves more than 670,000 participants from over 110 countries. Encouraging real-world problem solving and the development of critical thinking, coding, and design skills, the league sees our students compete in exciting mission-based robotics challenges.
Our exclusive IB Trip: Experiences Abroad program gives our International Baccalaureate Diploma students the chance to put theory into practice, as they immerse themselves in real-world, experiential learning.
On meticulously planned expeditions, IB learners studying literature, science, history, business, language, and the arts deepen their understanding in their chosen subjects. They also get to explore different cultures, broaden horizons, and increase their global awareness.
Whether they’re taking part in tailored workshops at a world-famous museum or witnessing the intricacies of global business on Wall Street in New York, each trip is designed to offer a unique blend of academic and hands-on learning.
Our focus on the world around us will take your child to new and exciting places across the globe.
Our Mission Space Trip, for example, is an awe-inspiring adventure for 5th to 2nd Form students. At the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, our young people explore the site’s extraordinary facilities, experience zero gravity, and discover the wonders of space. The fun continues at Walt Disney Resort, which provides a balance between education and enchantment, and creates memories that last a lifetime.
Our Debate Trip to Harvard University immerses our 3rd to 6th Form students in a stimulating world of intellectual discourse. Alongside a diverse group of aspiring orators, they engage in spirited discussions, explore global issues, and refine their communication techniques. Our students are guided by experienced mentors who help them to absorb different viewpoints, speak persuasively, and win an argument.
Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at Saint George. We work hard to achieve a healthy balance of education and development, which encompasses the academic, the social, and the emotional. This holistic approach is reinforced by our warm community, which fosters a strong sense of belonging.
In addition to an expert team of counsellors, we run a variety of group and targeted wellbeing initiatives. These include our Cloud 9 program, which features evidence-based strategies, workshops, and activities that promote self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Our Zero Bullying Agreement – signed by all our parents – ensures our campus is a safe and accepting place for everyone.
We prioritize our students’ physical health, too, preparing nutritious meals, offering active opportunities, and providing plenty of spaces – including our Ecological Terrace – where students can relax and socialize with friends.
With its family atmosphere, specialist facilities, and prime location in Piantini, our campus is the ideal place for your child to study.

NURTURING A GENERATION OF GLOBAL CITIZENS
Saint George is a diverse international community that truly embraces multiculturalism. Our students are the next generation of world-changers and – through a range of initiatives – we empower them to make a real difference.
As part of our whole-school commitment to global citizenship and helping others, we encourage our students to support the community projects, charities, and causes that matter to them. From coastal clean-ups to volunteering at a local shelter, our students demonstrate kindness, empathy, and tenacity to uplift others.
In the curriculum, the Creativity, Activity, Service element of the IB Diploma enables our students to take the lead and contribute to local and international communities. These include transformative projects with the Ministerio De Agricultura, Operación Sonrisa, and a local children’s hospital.
