Located in Vancouver, Canada, St. George’s School is distinguished as the nation’s exclusive urban boarding program for boys in Grades 8-12. It’s a dynamic community where academic prowess combines with character development, connection, and adventure.
Education at St. George’s transcends traditional learning; it focuses on nurturing young men to lead with empathy, curiosity, and courage — preparing them to be ready and relevant for the world. Through intimate Harkness discussions, a comprehensive advisor program, and inquiry-based learning, students gain confidence in their voices and take responsibility for their ideas.
Outside the classroom, nearly 30 AP courses, 40 athletic opportunities, and 50 special-interest clubs ensure every student discovers his passion.
The boarding experience is distinctly urban. Weekends might involve skiing on Vancouver’s North Shore, kayaking along the Pacific coastline, or enjoying a symphony downtown — all just minutes from campus. Boarders cultivate independence, balance, and global citizenship within a diverse community representing over 15 countries.
For more than 90 years, St. George’s alumni have influenced Canada and the world — as CEOs, Olympians, artists, and civic leaders — embodying the school’s mission to prepare students “not just for success, but for significance.”
As Head of School David Young states, “There are many ways to be a man and many ways to make an impact.” At St. George’s, that journey begins in the heart of Vancouver — where bold ideas, lifelong friendships, and purpose-driven lives are nurtured.
