2017-2018 REPORT CARD 2017-2018 SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME. ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL is a strong academic university preparatory institution with selective entrance standards. Offering a Boarding Program for Grades 8 to 12 and a Day Program for Grades 1 to 12, St. George’s is committed to its Mission of building fine young men. The School encourages the pursuit of excellence in all endeavours, and is committed to the healthy growth of body, mind, and spirit. Character development, leadership, and service opportunities are integral to the School’s mission. This Report Card functions as a comprehensive annual report and includes a wide range of highlights, ranging from the accomplishments of our students through to the depth and breadth of our programs. Produced on an annual basis, it reflects our commitment to continuous school improvement, as well as our desire to keep the St. George’s community well informed and fully engaged. Reflecting on the 2017-18 school year, I am struck by how much has been accomplished. Academic accomplishments include stellar Advanced Placement results and another highly successful year with university admissions. The 157 young men constituting the Graduating Class of 2018 received more than 680 acceptances at 120 different post-secondary institutions, along with close to $2 million in merit- based scholarships. The incredible diversity of these results attests to the success of our University Counseling team in helping each student find the program and university that are, for him, the best fit. The incredible richness of our students’ co-curricular experiences in 2017-18 paralleled their academic success. With over 50 clubs, 26 sports, and 43 competitive teams to choose from in the Senior School alone, every boy had ample opportunity to stretch himself and to find his niche. Close to 30% of students played on at least one competitive team. No fewer than 20 teams were successful in reaching provincial championships with 5 teams bringing home a championship banner. Similarly, our Music Program received a record number of gold rankings, and both Junior and Senior School students participated in an extraordinary array of student leadership, global engagement, and service learning initiatives. We continue to make solid progress in implementing our Strategic Plan and pursuing its vision of establishing St. George’s as a world leader in the education of boys. Inquiry has been established as the focus of curriculum renewal in the Junior School, and we continue to renew and enhance programs and instruction at the Senior School. The final phase of the renovation of the Junior School will be completed in the fall of 2018 with the unveiling of our brand new Grade 4 Neighbourhood, and the approval of our rezoning application has set the stage for the transformation of the Senior School campus. As you will see from this Report, St. George’s is an extraordinary school. I am gratified by our accomplishments as a community, and I indebted to everyone who contributed to the success of 2017-18. In particular, I am proud of the boys and young men of St. George’s for their extraordinary dedication and commitment. Not only are they happy to be students at this great school, but they also are keen to meet our expectations and to make us proud of them. What more could anyone ask for?

DR. TOM MATTHEWS HEADMASTER The Board is proud to record that 2017-18 proved another year of great progress and achievement at St. George’s School. Under the leadership of Headmaster Matthews, our boys excelled in all areas of endeavour from academics to arts to athletics to service. Our faculty was enhanced with the addition of more than a dozen truly superior educators, and our students continue to flourish both inside and outside of the classroom. I am also pleased to report ongoing progress in the implementation of the School’s Strategic Plan, especially in the areas of teaching and learning and new programs. Moreover, we continued to upgrade and renovate our facilities with the work on our new Grade 4 Neighbourhood beginning in the summer of 2018. A particularly exciting milestone was the City’s unanimous approval of our rezoning application and the development of a new and inspiring design for our first Senior School project. Consisting of two academic buildings and a new dining hall, it truly will create a new heart for the Senior School. The School’s finances continue to be well managed, and we enjoyed another successful fundraising year. Donations in excess of $10.5 million were made to the School from the ever generous and supportive Saints community. As we launch the ONE+ Campaign, we are well positioned to meet our goals as we transform the Senior School campus for generations to come. Finally, I would like to thank the Headmaster, our faculty and our staff, and especially our Board of Directors for moving us toward our goal of becoming a world leader in boys’ education and “Canada’s World School for Boys”.

FINE YOUNG MEN OUR STUDENT BODY PROFILE

Each year, through the Graduating Class Exit Survey, our graduates are asked to reflect on the most impactful aspects of their school experience. Unequivocally, our students comment on the meaningful relationships that they formed within our community. The power of relationships has become a value-added and distinguishable facet of the St. George’s student experience. These meaningful relationships stem from our intentional approach to Character Education and how our Core Values are defined, taught, modelled, upheld, acknowledged, and celebrated daily.

A NATURAL CURIOSITY OUTDOOR EDUCATION AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM FOSTERING LEADERSHIP

The outdoor setting offers a powerful opportunity for supporting many aspects of our educational philosophy. When immersed in nature, away from the comfort of a student’s everyday environment, learning and growth are amplified. Beginning in Grade 1, up to and including Grade 10, all students participate in our Outdoor Education Program at least once a year. Our experiences are designed to build skills and connection in the outdoors. The primary years focus on curiosity via day programs. Grades 4-7 focus on community at camps. Grades 8-10 focus on learning expedition skills to promote leadership and resiliency. In Grade 10 we also offer the Discovery 10 program—an outdoor immersion program for a cohort of engaged boys.

A STORY OF TRADITIONS THE OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION

WE ARE GENERATIONS OUR ALUMNI

An “Old Boy” is any student who has completed one full year at St. George’s School. Each year we add between 150-160 new Old Boys to that list, which is now in excess of 7000 men around the world. The Old Boys’ Association is a not-for-profit society, incorporated in 1950, that works closely with the School and its other Boards with a common goal of support. The primary objectives of the Old Boys’ Association are to connect Old Boys with one another and with the School, to provide mentoring opportunities, and to support the School. 2017-18 OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON JUNE 30, 2018

Major reunion events take place annually in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Toronto, and New York, as well as Victoria, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London, England, all of which provide valuable in-person connection points for Old Boys. Old Boys also actively support on- campus events such as our own Dragons’ Lair and Careers Day, and directly connect with students to mentor those who will soon join the ranks of the Old Boys. The Old Boys’ network continues to grow each year, whilst supporting and maintaining direct ties to the School we share in common. 1838 1377 1276 25 5 FACEBOOK LINKEDIN GEORGIAN REUNION & FORMAL CHAPTERS VANCOUVER, TORONTO, GROUP GROUPS CONNECT NETWORKING EVENTS NEW YORK, HONG KONG, MEMBERS MEMBERS MEMBERS IN 2017-18 AND LONDON (UK). 2017-2018 REPORT CARD 2017-2018

FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS We recognize that an independent school education is a significant financial investment. St. George’s School is committed to attracting and retaining students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds who have the potential and passion to thrive through access to our program. The School’s Financial Aid Program has been developed to assist families who, without financial assistance, would not be able to afford the cost of a St. George’s School education. We believe that attracting the very best students to St. George’s benefits the entire school community. The Financial Aid Program is funded through Endowment Fund income and the annual operating budget, both of which benefit from donated funds.

Our Campus Master Plan was developed to ensure our school community’s facility needs will be met for decades to come. The plan will be executed by way of a multi-phased fundraising campaign which began in 2014; phase I of the campaign was completed in 2016, surpassing the initial goal of $40 million. Already completed or underway are major restoration projects for our two heritage buildings and renovations of all classrooms at the Junior School, including the library.

This cornerstone event in the School’s calendar allows us to acknowledge those individuals who have made an extraordinary, transformational contribution over time to the building of the School. It is the highest honour conferred by St. George’s School, in recognition of exceptional engagement and support. The recipients have all embodied our shared belief in and shared love of St. George’s School.
