What St. George's School of Montreal does

St. George's School of Montreal is a private, non-profit, co-educational independent school operating two campuses in the Montreal area: an Elementary School in Westmount (Grades K-6) and a High School in Montreal (Grades 7-12, including a Grade 12 Pre-University year). Founded in 1930 and now in its 95th year, the school positions itself around a progressive 'learning by doing' pedagogy and serves English-speaking families seeking an alternative to the Quebec public system.

Core academic programs are Elementary School (K-6), High School (Grades 7-11), and the Grade 12 Pre-University Program launched in 2025, which delivers the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) through Science, Commerce, and Humanities pathways. The school supplements academics with co-curricular offerings including a Robotics program (Canadian Robotics Competition participant), Sci-9 Club, STEAM education featuring a Farmbot and Maker Spaces equipped with professional Milwaukee tools, and a Social Impact Program structured around mentor-led PODs (Purpose-Oriented Development groups) dedicated to social action, environmental stewardship, and advocacy.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition (rates not publicly disclosed) with supplementary funding from an Annual Fund campaign targeting $200,000 annually, plus scholarships and bursaries funded by donations. Go-to-market is direct-to-family via the school's website, on-demand information sessions, open house events, and community referrals. The school holds QASI and CAIS accreditation, complies with Quebec's Law 25 privacy framework, and employs approximately 84 staff across both campuses.
