An Education as Unique as Your Child

St. George’s inspires pupils to reach their full potential and thrive in an ever-changing world. Their future is one filled with opportunity, where adaptability, creativity, and resilience will be key to success.

We are dedicated to equipping our pupils with the academic excellence and dynamic qualities needed to excel in life. Through a rigorous yet flexible programme, we foster innovation and provide personalised support tailored to each pupil’s unique needs. Guided by passionate educators, our pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum that encourages them to be ambitious, lifelong learners.

Our motto, Levavi Oculos, invites our pupils to lift their eyes, embrace ambition, and strive to elevate themselves and those around them.

Principal's Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to St George’s International School, where we combine a hundred years of history with a global and forward-facing outlook, underpinned by our rigorous approach to academic excellence.

The idyllic location of our campus positions our pupils to enter a global stage, encouraging them to lift their eyes to the opportunities that await. From 18 months to 18 years, each member of our school community is encouraged to be ambitious for themselves and for our world, and we empower them to embrace opportunities, grow as individuals and thrive as members of a diverse international community.

This is a high-performing environment. Our three pillars of academics, sport and the expressive and performing arts inspire excellence in all that we do, and we don’t stand still: building on a strong heritage as one of Switzerland’s leading boarding and day schools, at St George’s we strive to innovate and lead change, maintaining our position as a beacon of excellence in a fast changing world, and ensuring that our pupils are ready to thrive and to lead in the world of the future.

In this, our centenary year, may I extend a warm welcome to our school: the warmth of our community, the tailored approach to each child’s educational journey and the transformative nature of a St George’s education.
