St. George's School

Harker Hall, our shared home, hosts students from Grades 8–12. In the junior grades (8 and 9), students are in 3 or 4-student rooms together on the first floor. With a maximum of 30 students, this structure allows for a higher degree of attention and supervision as students transition into residential life.

At the senior grades, students live in 2-man rooms, with up to 48 students living together on a floor. In grades 10 and 11, each 2-man room shares a washroom with another room. At the grade 12 level, most rooms have their own private washroom facilities.
