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. Decades 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.
Our teachers are excited about what they teach and share that enthusiasm with your child. They bring their life experiences into the classroom, like the Arts teachers who are all practicing professionals in their fields. They set high expectations for your student, and then inspire them to meet those goals. And as our graduates will attest, Saint George’s teachers make a lasting difference in their lives.
Each year a special professional development award, funded by the family of a well loved, former teacher, gives one or more Saint George’s teachers a chance to travel anywhere in the world so they can bring that experience back to enrich their classroom.
Teachers have retraced Lewis and Clark’s journey from St. Louis to the Pacific, tramped across Civil War battlefields, explored Amazon rainforests, and taken in Broadway and Carnegie Hall performances.
It’s their experience and dedication to teaching – and the support of the entire Saint George’s community – that helps them bring out the best in every student they teach.
SGS Alumni have graduated to attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the world, including MIT, Yale, and Harvard.
