International Students
International students bring fresh perspectives and gain valuable skills at Saint George’s School (SGS), which welcomes non-native English speakers from around the world. They pursue a rigorous, engaging college preparatory education centered on the International Baccalaureate Diploma, while also strengthening their English proficiency.
From day one, international students find a welcoming community of friends and teachers who support their academic, creative, and athletic growth. SGS graduates leave as lifelong learners, global citizens, and responsible community members.
With students, families, and staff from over 20 nations, Saint George’s benefits from a rich diversity of cultures. International students share their backgrounds in classrooms, with host families, and at special events. Whether celebrating Chinese New Year or exploring Kenyan batik art, they connect with the world—and each other—at SGS.
Global Academic Excellence Scholarship
The Global Academic Excellence Scholarship recognizes outstanding international students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, strong character, and a commitment to leadership and global citizenship. Awarded to select new F-1 international students, this scholarship honors those who embody Saint George’s School’s mission and core values while contributing to the diverse, globally minded community that defines SGS.
Global Academic Excellence Scholarship
Saint George’s School inspires students to strive for excellence in everything they attempt. Their efforts are evidenced by their academic achievements, athletic championships, and artistic endeavors. Further evidence is provided by their outstanding acceptances into the most prestigious colleges and universities across the globe. SGS is an International Baccalaureate World School, and we are looking for globally minded citizens who will contribute to the diversity of our community. It is our intent to do more than just educate young minds, our mission is: Inspiring scholars, athletes and artists to serve and lead others. Like the mission, our core values provide guidance and direction for our community. We strive to live by these values at all times: Honesty, Respect, Generosity of Spirit and Best Efforts.
SGS will bestow the Global Academic Excellence Scholarship to top international students who exemplify these traits. It is a $4,000 scholarship for new international student applicants (F-1 Visa) based on an applicant’s entering grade point average, test scores and personal profile. A certificate will be provided for the honored student to use for future college and scholarship applications to show receipt of the award.
Individual Review
Students who do not meet both of the above standards may be considered for the Global Academic Excellence Scholarship through individual review. Through this process, the Selection Committee will review all available information about a student’s application, carefully considering all aspects of a student’s academic background and accomplishments. Submission of test scores and transcripts with GPA is still required.
