Mission

St. George’s School of Montreal provides a hands-on, well-balanced and rigorous educational experience. Mindful of the different strengths and needs of all of our learners, we prepare each student for what lies ahead.

At St. George’s:
• We challenge students to think critically and express themselves creatively; our students are confident problem solvers.
• We provide a nurturing, respectful environment that encourages both self discovery and collaboration; our students enjoy and value learning.
• We embrace meaningful inquiry and thoughtful reflection within and beyond the classroom; our students grow into engaged and compassionate citizens.

Grounded in the themes and practices of progressive education since 1930, St. George’s is aligned and actively engaged with research and innovation dedicated to the education of the whole child.

At St. George’s we believe that…
• Reflection is an integral part of authentic learning
• While structure is critical, rigidity is unnecessary
• Transferring and applying knowledge to new situations leads to the development of critical life skills

At St. George’s, we understand the importance of our role in our students’ current and future success and happiness. We understand the impact that their social and emotional well being can have on their academic performance. We also understand that achievement is not only measured in terms of academic and/or financial success.
