“A central aim of the St. George’s School is the release of creative energy in the child.

　　Every child wants to know a multitude of things that they do not know.

　　Every child is endowed with the capacity to express themselves, and this innate capacity is immensely worth cultivating.”

　　First St. George’s Prospectus, 1930

　　Over the Years

　　1930

　　St. George’s welcomed its first class of 22 students, pioneering progressive teaching and learning practices that were considered outside of the norm. The original building was located at the corner of Clarke Avenue and The Boulevard.

　　1946

　　By 1946 the school had grown to more than 80 students from preschool to Grade 9, and had moved into a series of “rambling, comfortable” residential buildings at the corner of Ramezay Avenue and The Boulevard.

　　1955

　　On the occasion of St. George’s School’s 25th anniversary, students presented Principal Agnes Matthews with a sketch of their “dream school”. Two years later, the present-day High School building at 3100 The Boulevard was completed.

　　1958

　　The Class of 1958 became the first to graduate from St. George’s High School. Eight students received their diplomas, including one who had been at St. George’s since Grade 1 - the first “l(fā)ifer”.

　　1971

　　St. George’s acquired the former St. George Snowshoe and Curling Club at 3685 The Boulevard, which was then renovated and expanded to become a new home for the Elementary School.

　　1993

　　Students, parents and teachers collaborated to bring about new updates to the Elementary School. State-of-the art computer labs and expanded library facilities were a fitting addition to usher in the new millennium at both campuses.

　　Robotics

　　Junior Robotics is a fun, hands-on introduction to mechanical engineering, design and computer programming. In Senior Robotics, students get to discover the endless possibilities afforded by St. George’s High School’s fully-equipped robotics labs.

　　Glee Club

　　Students in Elementary School at St. George’s can get involved with St. George’s popular Glee program as early as Grade 2. Junior Glee has everyone singing and dancing as they learn to coordinate rhythm and movement. In Grades 4, 5 and 6, the “E Minor” Glee Club works year-round to perfect a repertoire of songs, ultimately opening for the High School’s “G Major” at their yearly show.

　　Athletics

　　Teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, and commitment are values we seek to nurture in our students through our Athletics Program. St. George’s provides opportunities to be involved in sports both competitively and recreationally. Our Elementary School students play soccer, hockey, ultimate frisbee and more. Here be Dragons!

　　Photography Club

　　A series of workshops facilitates the discovery of the basics of photography: camera function, techniques in portrait photography, colour, lighting, photojournalism and much more. Students gain hands-on experience while being challenged creatively.

　　Farm to Table

　　Farm to Table engages students in the process of growing, harvesting and creating recipes and natural products from our very own St. George’s gardens. Students learn about the importance of community-supported agriculture and eating and buying local as they are immersed in a sustainable social movement.

　　Community Learning

　　St. George’s students are encouraged to connect classroom learning with the wider world. In Kindergarten, they prepare a full Thanksgiving dinner for the needy in partnership with a local food bank. Throughout their time in Elementary School at St. George’s, students make meaningful connections with a community in Tanzania that St. George’s has an ongoing relationship with.Ultimate Frisbee
