A RICH TAPESTRY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES

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.
