St George’s School for Girls is an independent, all-through school in Edinburgh. It caters for approximately 800 girls aged between two and eighteen.
Founded in 1888 by pioneers of women’s education, St George’s is the largest all-girls school in Scotland and the only all-through girls’ school in Edinburgh. The school was named the top Scottish Independent School for Advanced Higher results by the Best-Schools website in 2014 and 2013.
Vision and values
The main vision of St George’s School for Girls is to produce women of independent mind who are equipped with the academic and life skills to succeed. The ethos is based on four values: truth, honour, freedom and courtesy. Students and staff alike are encouraged to be respectful towards one another. Pupils learn in an environment free of gender stereotypes.
St George’s nursery curriculum is based on child-led activities, involving problem-solving, creativity and role play. For the older students, the curriculum is based on GCSE and Scottish Higher and Advanced Higher examinations in eight areas: languages, maths, social studies, sciences, health and well-being, religious and moral education, expressive arts and technologies. The school also emphasises the importance of outdoor learning and physical activity as a supplement to academic learning.
