St. George's International School aims to educate young minds and equip its pupils to become global citizens – inspired innovators of tomorrow. A well-structured, multi-lingual, enquiry based curriculum, rooted in academic rigour, with an emphasis on the performing arts, sport and co-curricular activities enables us to reach our goals for every pupil, whilst allowing them to fulfil their own.Situated in Montreux, overlooking Lake Geneva, with magnificent views of the Alps, it is easy to understand why the school's motto is "Levavi Oculos" – "I lift my eyes", as in doing so the glorious mountain environment beckons. We are proud of our outstanding academic results and reputation in Switzerland and throughout the world. Our pupils leave us for the very best Universities worldwide.We strive to develop leadership skills in our children through all that we do, especially in sport and the performing arts, with an emphasis placed on integrity, teamwork and celebrating success. Students are also encouraged to take a full part in the wide range of co-curricular activities. One of the hallmarks of a holistic education at a premium quality school is the variety of opportunities afforded to all its students. With over fifty clubs and societies to choose from, pupils at St. George's have no excuse to be bored and very little time to waste. Whether you're into Basketball, Chess, Drama, Music, Skiing or Swimming, there is something to suit every taste or to awaken a new passion in your life. Team Sport allows children to take part in meaningful competition, teaching the value of both winning and losing, helping to build resilience. Thinking involves questioning - profound questions promote deep thought. If we truly want our children to become problem solvers we must teach them how to find the right questions to ask.
