San Jorge

Fundación Educacional San Jorge is a Argentine non profit organization that supports St. George’s College & St. George’s College North by providing scholarships & bursaries to deserving students of families that share the Schools’ values but cannot afford the full fees.

St George’s consists of two sister Schools: the original 110 year old boarding & day school located in the suburb of Quilmes, 20 kms. south of Buenos Aires City, and the 18 year old St George´s College North day school located in Los Polvorines suburb, some 35 kms. north of Buenos Aires. Both Schools follow a very similar educational programme and the pastoral and sporting activities are virtually the same.

St.George’s is an International Baccalaureate certified school that offers a national academic programme integrated with IB and IGCSE

St George´s mission is to provide students of varying abilities and backgrounds between the ages of 3 and 18 with a bilingual, fully integrated, education of the highest calibre, in order that they may develop their potential to the full in an appropriately resourced, co-educational environment, which nurtures individual development, independent thinking and the highest moral standards. Inherent to our mission is an extensive and close interaction between the College and the world.
