St. George's School of Montreal is an independent school in Montreal, Canada which was founded in 1930. It consists of 2 campuses: the Elementary School campus in Westmount, Quebec, and the High School campus in Montreal. The school is a co-educational, non-denominational day school, where students do not wear school uniforms.
St. George’s was founded in 1930 by a small group of parents who, inspired by the movement for progressive education, rejected the authoritarian ways associated with conventional education. They believed that learning should be a natural and enjoyable activity related to the developmental stages and needs of the child. During most of the 20th century is was notable for being one of the most avant garde, liberal and innovative schools in the province of Quebec, largely due to its child-centered philosophy (which was quite exceptional in the 1930s, and unique in Montreal).
St. George's School of Montreal is a member of The Quebec Association of Independent Schools (QAIS), The Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), and The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
