School Notes:

  • EXPERIENCE MORE at St. George’s Independent School, a coeducational, college-preparatory school for students in grades PK-12 with lower schools in Germantown and Memphis and a middle/upper school in Collierville.

    EXPERIENCE ACADEMICS + CREATIVITY

    St. George’s students are challenged to excel academically but also to stretch creatively.  A vigorous curriculum is designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship in today’s world.

    EXPERIENCE FAITH + SERVICE

    Founded in the Episcopal tradition with a mission centered on Judeo-Christian values, St. George’s counts all students as children of God.  Living a life of meaningful contribution is the foundation to the school’s character and citizenship education programs.

    EXPERIENCE CHARACTER + CITIZENSHIP

    At St. George’s, character education is as important as classroom education.  A dedication to excellence and doing one’s best is constantly reinforced.  We encourage students to develop empathy, good manners, and kindness toward others.

    EXPERIENCE AMBITION + SELF-EXPRESSION

    There are traditional co-curricular options available to all St. George’s students such as student senate, newspaper, yearbook, and drama.  But, to ensure that each student has the option to experience more in his or her co-curricular life, St. George’s offers out-of-the-ordinary activities outside of the classroom that foster environmentalism and leadership.
