St George's School for Girls

 

Educational Excellence For Girls Of All Ages

Situated in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, St George’s School for Girls is a flexible and open learning community which allows our day and boarding students to grow and develop at their own pace and in their own direction. What is wonderful is that much of this community has been inspired by the enterprise and creativity of the students themselves.

    Anne Everest - Head's Message 14-05

    Last week we were honoured to host a visit from Dr Leonard Sax, who is celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic for his forthright views on parenthood, gender issues and the challenges that young people, their parents and teachers face in the 21st century. We had invited Dr Sax to St George's so that we might give him a forum to discuss important research and some pertinent advice for all sections of the community, while stimulating professional conversations among the staff. We were not disappointed.

  • The Fascination of China

    The Fascination of China

    I thoroughly enjoyed James Brodie’s enlightening presentation “Where Chinese has taken me.” I enjoy learning languages and being at this presentation made me think of where I could possibly go, too.

    I expected Mr Brodie to be a lot older and more formal, so on arrival at the meeting I was surprised to see a much younger and very easy going person. He told us about his very exciting and full life from the end of his school days to the present ...

  • Art & Design

    Art at St George's plays a leading role in the vibrant life of the school. Students' artwork is everywhere, from corridors, to halls to award winning school magazines! The Art Faculty is set in its own building and is a dynamic hub of activity throughout and beyond the school day. There are three full time teachers and one part time teacher who is also a Primary Specialist, all of which bring their own expertise, ambitious ideas and sense of fun to our curriculum.

    In the Faculty of Art at St George's, students from Primary 3 upwards are taught by specialist Art staff. Junior students take lessons in the Junior Art Room and in purpose built Art Studios.

  • Bursary Fund

    We hope you may wish to contribute to our bursary fund, which helps to support new students from families on lower incomes and current students who face financial difficulties. In these uncertain times, we can never be sure who may need financial help. It is also important that the school provide bursary money so that it may keep its charitable status, which will help to ensure St George's future success, whatever the economy's ups and downs. 

    To make giving to the bursary fund as simple as possible, we now have this "Just Giving" link.

    Thank you for your support.

  • International St G's

    Learning in a global context has been highly valued at St George's for many years. International education takes a variety of forms through which we seek to broaden students' cultural awareness, develop their linguistic proficiency and promote greater self-awareness and independence in order that St George's girls can take their place in the world as global citizens.

    The school has well-established exchange programmes with partner schools in the United States, Canada, Australia, Chile, South Africa, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. We are proud of our achievements in this area.

  • MyDaughter Website

    The site mydaughter.co.uk aims to unlock and share the expertise and experience of the heads and staff within girls' schools. We deal with girls day in and day out and over the years have had thousands of girls pass through our care.

    There cannot be many issues to do with educating or raising girls that we have not had to face in our careers or been asked to advise parents about. Many of us are parents, too. We think that we are particularly well placed to offer the sort of objective, up-to-date information and advice that parents tell us they are looking for about raising and educating their daughters ...
