Saint George’s School in Switzerland
Founded in 1927
1927–2007 : 80 years of academic excellence.
For the past 80 years we have provided our day and boarding students with the best international British education in Switzerland. Just one hour from Geneva, St. George’s 12-acre campus is located near Montreux in a park with magnificent views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. The quality of our teaching staff and our outstanding on-campus sport facilities ensure our students with not only a quality education but also with the possibility to develop their physical skills and sporting abilities. St. George School is part of the Business & Management University Group along with Business & Management University and IFGP Institut de Formation de Gestionnaire de Patrimoine.
Academics
St. George’s academic programme challenges each and every of its students and we are dedicated to help them reach their full potential. Our balanced curriculum offers not only intellectual stimulation but also the development of social and affective potentials. The worldwide renowned IGCSE and IB diplomas are part of our curriculum in order to guarantee a sound learning base for our pupils’ academic future. Extra-curricular activities will offer them the possibility to develop their self-confidence, their sense of initiative and responsibility, thereby preparing them to seize the occasions and face the challenges of life.
Boarding
Moving away from home is not easy but at St. George’s everything is established to make sure our students quickly adapt to the life on campus and that our school becomes a second home. Our boarding section for boys and girls from 7 to 18, is an unique experience, a challenge not only academically but as people. The opportunities to learn do not end with the last class of the day but continue thanks to community life: a chance to understand the different cultures of the boarder’s body and to develop a sense of self-discipline, maturity and leardership. We also, strongly believe that students should have as much contact as possible with parents and families during term time. Consequently, they may go out on any week-end either with members of their own family or friends. St. George’s is more than a simple school, it’s a community where we care about each other and where friendship is for life.
Christian and Christina Barrios, parents of two boarders at St. George’s School remember: “Sending our children abroad was a very tough and somehow heartbreaking decision to take. We decided to bring our two daughters to St. George’s and we have not regretted our decision once. We were looking for a great education in terms of knowledge, and we honestly believe that the school offers an excellent academic level mostly due to the outstanding quality of its teaching staff. In
terms of their life in a boarding school, we know and feel that they are really well taken care of. In every aspect, St. George’s is fully meeting our expectations.”
Summer camp
A success since the 1980’s, St. George’s School Summer Camp in July and August welcomes girls and boys aged 10 to 16 from over 20 countries. We provide our summer campers a happy, safe and creative atmosphere in which they can improve their language skills and make friends from around the world. Excursions, outdoor activities and sports are also part of the program to guarantee a memorable time and a very exciting experience.
