St. George's Grammar School

We are an Anglican Mainstream co-educational school for pupils from Grade Pre-R (pre-primary) to Grade 12 in Mowbray, Cape Town. The whole school is situated on one campus with separate buildings for the High and Preparatory School but with specific shared facilities such as school halls, a library and sports fields.

The school fully subscribes to the National Policy on Inclusive Education and has an inclusive, anti-bias approach in all spheres of school life.

We believe in creating a safe and happy space for our pupils while enabling a strong foundation for learning. Our computer labs and library are spaces that allow for our pupils to learn beyond the confines of a classroom. Our classes are small, we have an excellent academic programme and an extra-curricular programme that includes space for community-mindedness, spiritual growth, ecological awareness and appreciation of the arts.

At St George’s we use the CAPS curriculum as the framework for our academic curriculum. As a mainstream school that subscribes to the National Policy on Inclusive Education, we are free to experiment and innovate. We are able to challenge the gifted, to develop the interest of the average, and to make curious the under-achiever. Above all, our methods and techniques infuse our pupils with a quiet confidence in themselves and in their abilities.

The average class size is under 26, which means each pupil receives individual attention and a close relationship develops between pupil and teacher. Pupils are encouraged to communicate and develop respectful relationships with one another and with teachers, preparing them for their roles in life.
