St George’s Grammar
School, at over 160 years old, is the oldest independent
school in South Africa. Originally
part of St George’s Cathedral in central Cape Town, the
school moved to its present campus in Mowbray
in 1972.
The historic Bloemendal estate at the foot of
Devil’s Peak provides a peaceful and beautiful learning
environment close to the heart of Cape Town.
TRADITION
St George’s has a long tradition of being forward
thinking and progressive. We were among the first
multicultural independent schools, and changed froma
boy’s school to a co-educational school in 1989.
We believe in heritage and tradition, but we also
believe in moving with the times and adapting to the
changing needs of our community.
DIVERSITY
Our learner body is drawn from a wide diversity of
cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. We encourage
this diversity, and teach our learners to work together
with tolerance and understanding.
It is of great
importance that all members of the school community feel
included and have a voice.
FAMILY
As a small school, we are a tightly knit community ,and
see ourselves as a family. We believe in providing
a nurturing, guiding environment to help our learners
realize their potential. We place a strong emphasis
on emotional intelligence, and try to provide learners
with the skills to evaluate their feelings and impulses.
Teaching and discussing life skills and values is an
everyday part of school life, and we try to use current
affairs in these discussions, even at the youngest
levels.
We believe that we are equipping our learners
not just with the knowledge to write their final matric
exams, but with the understanding to live successful,
fulfilled lives.
