St. George's Independent School

It is a good time to be at St. George’s Independent School! Academic and artistic accolades, athletic championships, and an unquenchable school spirit that values both the individual and the team are just a few reasons why. With an educational model not replicated anywhere else in the country, St. George’s is actively building bridges across the mid-south in alignment and support of the best ambitions of our city.

At St. George’s, we weave together the very best of traditional educational practice with an active, hands-on approach. We serve boys and girls in prekindergarten through twelfth grade on three campuses in Collierville, Germantown, and Memphis and invite you to consider if one might be just right for your family. You can learn more about us in the Story of St. George’s booklet and video found on this page.

St. George’s is a singular experience, where active learning and agile teaching build disciplined minds, adventurous spirits, and brave hearts. Guided by adept teachers who take a vital interest in every child, our students graduate well prepared for success in college and their chosen career, and also for a life of meaningful service and contribution.

St. George's Independent School is an Episcopal school dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, preparing students for a life of learning and meaningful contribution in an inclusive learning community that nurtures outstanding academic achievement, relationships, leadership and character reinforced by Judeo-Christian values. Our Philosophy:

• St. George's is a community of learners who believe that learning is a lifelong endeavor. It is a place to find not only knowledge, but also the skills necessary for this lifetime of learning.
• St. George's believes in a holistic approach to education. Thus in preparing students for high academic challenges, it is a place where one also finds an emphasis on spiritual, physical, and social development. It is a place where mind, body, and spirit grow as one.
• St. George's highly esteems truth and honor. An honor code supports an environment where compassion, respect, responsibility, self-discipline, perseverance, work, and faith thrive.
• St. George's values the development of individual character. Thus, it is a place for exploration and learning about others and oneself.
• St. George's believes in fostering positive relationships between girls and boys, women and men. We value the coeducational nature of our school and provide ample opportunities for both male and female students, faculty, and administrators to excel.
• St. George's believes that students have multiple talents and abilities. It is a place where students' unique gifts are recognized and nurtured and doors are opened to diverse fields of expression, creativity, and appreciation through a curriculum of core subject areas and varied co-curricular programs.
• As a school founded in the Episcopal tradition, St. George's welcomes and respects all religious, racial, national, and ethnic backgrounds. It is a place that acknowledges the dignity of each child.
• St. George's believes in the mutual support of home, school, and community in the development of young women and men. St. George's endeavors to create and provide collaborative opportunities to enrich the educational development of its students and its own role as a part of the greater community. Likewise, civic service is a prominent element of our educational program.
• St. George's also believes it must take a leadership role in the conservation of environmental resources. As good stewards of these resources, St. George's will uphold the principles of sustainable design and continue its history of environmental education to promote these values within its student body.
• St. George's believes in preparing young women and men to seize their futures with confidence and passion as they go forward to make meaningful contributions to our community and the world.

As part of this commitment to inclusion, we seek out pupils from many walks of life, every religious tradition, all races, and more than 50 zip codes – because we believe our classrooms should reflect the realities of our city. We know that the bridges built at St. George’s result in a genuinely transformative diversity. Our students change, inform, and enrich the experiences of their peers and, together, build a community that celebrates difference and recognizes commonality.

St. George’s Independent School advances the best of both models, for today and tomorrow. Between the miracle of your child as you see him today, and the wonder of what he’s growing into tomorrow, the active learning and agile teaching of a St. George’s education help him build a disciplined mind, an adventurous spirit, and a brave heart.

The focus of our academic program is on the interdisciplinary model of instruction, fostering 21st century skills, and the technology that is present provides a framework of support to help students to become lifelong learners. While the technology itself is a powerful tool for teaching and learning, it is integrated and utilized with the focus on curricular goals. The use of technology provides opportunities for student–centered learning in ways that foster engagment and deep understanding, allowing for differentiation of instruction in ways that best meet our educational goals.
