St. George Switzerland Boarding School has been the best British style international school for boys and girls in Switzerland since 1927. The founders wanted the Boarding School to reflect the philosophy of world beauty appreciation, the promotion of peace through international good will and work.

St. George’s Boarding School equips students both academically and socially for progression and success in learning. The International Junior Department at St. George’s offers a primary education for boys and girls starting the age of 3 to 11. The British National Curriculum guidelines are tailored to meet each student individual need. The main subjects of study remain languages, IT, math, arts and physical education.
The Department of Seniors prepares students for IB and American high school diplomas. It is composed of years 7 to 13 (grades 6-12) and have regular examinations every year. We care, indeed, regarding the academic progress of every student, for this reason we evaluate the knowledge on constant basis. Our international students do not have difficulties of validating the years spent in St. George, in their own countries (if the country is a state of Hague Convention). We design the program of required subjects specially for you.
