Our Mission: "Inspiring scholars, athletes, and artists to
serve and lead others." Saint George`s passionate educators and
extraordinary campus inspire each and every student in ways that
have a beneficial lifetime impact. From kindergarten through 12th
grade, every student is supported and celebrated as a scholar,
athlete, and artist. We prepare graduates to be lifetime learners,
developing their abilities to understand the world around them and
to empathize and communicate with others. The result is students
who earn admission to the most selective colleges and universities
in the nation. But more than acceptance letters, our graduates
leave Saint George`s with the intellect and talents to succeed in
higher education and to serve and lead in all their chosen
endeavors.
You can see the Saint George`s advantage everywhere you look on
our campus: In the classrooms, where our talented, experienced
teachers share their passion for learning with their students; In
well-equipped labs and art studios, where teachers really get to
know their students and personalize innovative lessons, activities,
and field trips; In our athletic center, where playing on and
cheering on our no-cut, championship sports teams is a
long-standing tradition; On Graduation Lawn, where the festive
Dragon Dance and formal Graduation ceremonies open and close the
school year; And along the banks of the Little Spokane River, where
science classes study macroinvertebrates while PE students canoe
through the nature preserve that surrounds our scenic campus.
Teachers at Saint George`s believe in preparing children to
succeed in even the most challenging colleges and universities.
They translate that belief into a balanced curriculum of rigorous
academic training rounded out with performing arts and
competitive athletics. They believe that parents recognize the
importance of higher education and want to send their children off
well prepared for the rigors of college academic life and capable
of success outside the classroom.
Students at Saint George`s are challenged daily to refine their
analytical and creative skills. They learn to question and defend
their ideas, accept responsibility for their actions, and develop
their self-confidence through activities in and out of the
classroom. They learn to write, to think, to communicate more
clearly, and to make informed decisions. Saint George`s School
prepares students for life beyond college in our changing and
challenging world. Saint George`s Upper School students are
involved in their community while excelling in the classroom. Each
year students help clean local rivers, teach summer camps and
volunteer for Spokane-area non-profits. Plus, some 80%
participate in sports and over 50% participate in performing arts.
Spanish instruction begins in Kindergarten, while 7th through 12th
grade students can also study Mandarin Chinese.
The International Baccalaureate is a globally recognized
liberal arts curriculum, where students take rigorous courses in
social sciences, English, science, math, arts, and proficiency in a
second language. Saint George`s 11th and 12th grade students
will take IB classes and earn IB diplomas and certificates. Saint
George`s is the only school in the Spokane region offering the IB
curriculum, which significantly increases acceptance rates among
top tier universities. For more information visit:

St. George's has been an excellent fit for our daughter. The curriculum is very integrated and requires in-depth input and participation from the students. The teachers'' enthusiasm and love of their work and students is obvious. The emphasis is not just in academics; it is in all aspects of creating a well-rounded and active member of their community. They don't just teach citizenship, they DO it!

St. George's School creates an atmosphere that encourages and supports academic excellence, creative thinking, and service learning. All students have ample opportunities to participate in all activities. Faculty advisors and teachers are incredibly supporting. The facilities are beautiful and enhance learning and exploration. As a current and alumni parent, I most highly recommend this school for any motivated student.
