Key insights from our research

  • What I appreciated most about Royal St. George’s College was the community and the fact that everyone knows and cares about you. Everyone at the school was invested in one another and invested in each other’s success. … The academics are taken seriously, but everyone’s needs are catered to.
    —From Interview with Royal St. George's College alum: Jeev Singh.
  • There’s a pride that comes from the sense of belonging that you get in a small school. It comes from students being ‘known and loved’ for everything that’s quirky about them, as well as everything they shine brightest at. … Our staff turnover here is infinitesimal. There is a great degree of satisfaction with working at Royal St. George’s College.
    —From Interview with Royal St. George's College Headmaster: Stephen Beatty.
  • The faculty really wants you to make the most of those opportunities. You do get a lot of guidance along the way. In addition to academics, getting good marks, and getting into a good university, they emphasize becoming a better person and becoming the best version of yourself. … Kindness is such a big part of the school’s identity.
    —From Interview with Royal St. George's College alum: Ethan Kelly.

Profile of Stephen Beatty, Head of School, Royal St. George's College

Beatty is the kind of headmaster who spends more time out in the hallways or in the field than in his office. Beatty can be found standing outside the school every morning making sure every child is greeted as they get out of the car.

How Royal St. George's College sees itself

The school administration answered our questions

Who are you, as a school?

"Our mission is to challenge and inspire each boy to become the best version of himself. We believe that school should be challenging and meaningful. We believe that knowledge matters; our collective future relies on us knowing more than we do today and acting purposefully on what we learn. We believe that each boy should be known and loved and that learning takes place within relationships. We believe that boys can be good and ambitious at the same time. They should be held to a high standard. Sometimes, pushing our boys to be more, do more, and act more thoughtfully and courageously, is the most loving thing we can do as adults. We believe in character and in doing the right thing. We believe in caring for one another, in integrity, and putting others before ourselves. We continue to be inspired by our founders, who insisted that "Manners Maketh Men." This is our code. We are Georgians."

Message from school leadership

Stephen Beatty, Headmaster

Since 1964 Royal St. George's College has been providing an extraordinary learning environment for boys in the heart of downtown Toronto.

The Georgian experience has always transcended an outstanding academic education. Our mission is to challenge and inspire each boy to be the best version of himself.

Our RSGC guarantee of Known and Loved is something that is lived everyday at the school. Each student is challenged and supported academically, athletically, artistically, socially and emotionally. The best version of himself is a person of character. The best version of himself is an inquirer and a critical thinker. The best version of himself is engaged in a breadth of experiences and understands what it feels like to commit to being the best. The best version of himself is cultivated in authentic relationships with outstanding educators who are passionate about their students. The best version of himself is a Georgian.

There is an intangible quality to a great school; something you can sense when you walk in the door. It’s the sense of community and the culture of respect. It’s the esprit de corps and the sense of pride and belonging among the students. It’s the way the school resonates and simply feels right. I welcome you to come and visit Royal St. George’s College and see, feel and understand the benefits of the Georgian experience for yourself.

Sincerely,

Stephen Beatty signature
