St. George's School of Montreal

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:

    And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
    They never cared for school anyway.
    And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
    And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
