Jenny Aviss Principal
St. George’s is a vibrant and truly international school. We have students from more than 60 different nations that come together to form a diverse and inspiring community of young people. The school was opened in 1927 to create a centre of excellence that provides for and cares for everyone within its community. The school offers both Boarding and Day school programmes that blend together as one to provide a dynamic learning community.
Whilst St. George’s is academically extremely successful, we also provide a holistic experience for all our students, ensuring that artistic, sporting and social opportunities are plentiful and enjoyed by our students.
Our school motto ‘Levavi Oculos’ is reflective in an environment in which all students are encouraged to look up, out and explore the world beyond.
