Saint George’s School

What Saint George’s School does

Saint George's School is a private, non-profit, K-12 independent college-preparatory school founded in 1955 in Spokane, Washington, and is the only IB World School in the Spokane region. It enrolls students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 on a single 120-acre campus along the Little Spokane River, supported by a 1:9 teacher-student ratio, dedicated faculty advisors, and a full International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for all Upper School students. The school operates through three divisions (Lower, Middle, Upper) and layers on an athletics program with a no-cut policy (80%+ Upper School participation, seven state All-Sports Championships), a visual and performing arts program housed in a new 3,300+ sq ft Arts Building, an outdoor education program leveraging the riverfront campus, college counseling, and over 20 student clubs.

The school's revenue model is subscription-style recurring tuition billed annually or on multi-installment plans, with tuition ranging from $26,080 for Kindergarten to $29,970 for Upper School, and $45,270 for international students. Ancillary revenue comes from a five-route bus transportation system covering 30+ zip codes ($1,040–$2,330 annually). Roughly 35% of students receive financial aid through the Family Individualized Tuition (FIT) program, which awards over $1.6 million annually based on household income. The go-to-market motion is sales-led via direct admissions: families inquire through the website, complete an online application ($75 domestic, $100 international) on the Finalsite Enrollment platform, schedule a visitation day, and submit teacher recommendations and academic records, with rolling admissions and April 1 priority.

The school has no parent company, no external venture or private equity ownership, and is governed by a Board of Trustees; it operates as a non-profit independent school and has no disclosed enrollment or financial figures beyond tuition pricing. There are no AI/ML capabilities, no proprietary technology products, and no disclosed M&A, funding, or restructuring activity in the available data.
