The Friday Assemblies are a gathering of Lower School students, faculty, parents, and other family members. They happen almost every Friday at 8:30AM in the Dragon’s Den. These assemblies are a way for Lower School students and parents to get together, build community, learn more about each other, and connect! These assemblies are open to everyone, so please feel free to join us!
Learn more about the Friday Assemblies from Rick Petrini, the Head of the Lower School.
We set our own curriculum based on our mission
We welcome students from all backgrounds
We are not directed by any government or religion
We begin every Lower School Friday Assembly with the song composed by one of our past music teachers, Judy Hafso in 2004.
At Saint George’s School we are a family, and we work to help each other to become the best that we can be!
“The Saint George’s School Song” encompasses this sentiment, as well as the other values we wish to instill in our students.

Dear Friends,
In 1955, a group of visionary parents joined forces to create a new educational option in Spokane. The founders sought a place that would prepare students for life and to succeed at the best colleges and universities around the world. Sixty-five years later, Saint George’s School continues to fulfill their initial vision. We fill a unique niche in the region as the only K-12 independent school, making a positive difference in the lives of young people.
We strive to be honest in our work, in our dealings with one another, and with ourselves.
We respect one another, our school, our country, our environment, and ourselves.
At all times, we seek to act with the welfare of others as the highest priority.
We value doing our best — in school, in the classroom, on the playing fields, and in all our endeavors.
Saint George’s School is dedicated to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that supports the success of all community members, while celebrating the richness that diverse perspectives bring to the human experience. As members of the SGS community, we realize that creating and maintaining such an environment will not happen by chance but must be the result of institutional and individual resolve as well as intentional decision-making at all levels. Consistent with our school philosophy, SGS must value diversity and personal well-being while protecting and promoting freedom of thought, freedom of inquiry, and freedom of expression. Members of the SGS community further recognize that this is an ongoing process and requires our sustained Best Efforts.
