We are Canada’s World School For Boys: There is compelling research 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 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.
We Offer Some of the Most Diverse Curricular Options in North America: Whether it’s our Advanced Placement classes, Latin, Underwater Robotics Club, rugby and basketball teams, or our seven award-winning bands and ensembles, breadth and depth is at the heart of who we are. At the Grade 10 Level, students choose our optional theme-based Majors called “cohort programs” that transcend multiple disciplines including: Science and Technology, Outdoor Education, Global Studies, and Performing Arts.
Our Boarders Benefit from an Urban Boarding Program:Being a boarder at St. George’s does not mean being isolated. Our boarders, who come from 20+ countries worldwide, interact with over 650 local day-students while they enjoy all of what Vancouver has to offer — whether urban, cultural, or outdoor.
We Have an Extraordinary University Placement Rate:100% of our 160+ graduates receive over 740 acceptances annually to over 140 universities worldwide and in excess of $2 million in scholarships.
Our Boys Lead from Within: “Making a positive difference to your community.” That’s how we define leadership at St. George’s. Guided by our six core values - Integrity, Humility, Resilience, Empathy, Respect, and Responsibility - our students lead from within in a school where every boy is known, loved, engaged, and achieving.
