Curriculum Traditional

[Show definition of Curriculum]

Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.

Curriculum approach at St. George's School: Traditional

St. George's School has a Traditional approach to Curriculum (as opposed to Liberal Arts, Progressive, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf approach).

[Show: About Traditional?]

Our Kids definition: Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.

Preschool/K Curriculum Montessori

[Show definition of Preschool/K Curriculum]

Preschools and kindergartens tend to have a particular curriculum or curricular approach. This refers to what is taught and how it's taught. Most preschools have a curriculum that comprises a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. A preschool's curriculum may or may not, though, reflect its higher-level curriculum (if it's part of a school with elementary or secondary programs)

Preschool/K Curriculum approach at St. George's School: Montessori

St. George's School has a Montessori approach to Preschool/K Curriculum (as opposed to Play-based, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Academic approach).

[Show: About Montessori?]

Our Kids definition: Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.

If you want to learn more about Montessori education, check out our comprehensive guide. You can also check out our guide to Montessori preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.

Curriculum Pace Standard-enriched

[Show definition of Curriculum Pace]

This refers to the rate at which students move through the curriculum (e.g., topics, textbook material, skills, etc.). Curriculum pace is often defined in comparison to provincial standards.

Curriculum Pace approach at St. George's School: Standard-enriched

St. George's School has a Standard-enriched approach to Curriculum Pace (as opposed to Accelerated, Student-paced approach).

[Show: About Standard-enriched?]

Our Kids definition: Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Compare St. George's School's Curriculum Pace with other schools on OurKids.net:
  Standard-enriched - 54%
  Accelerated - 18%
  Student-paced - 28%

What St. George's School says about their curriculum pace:

Academic Culture Rigorous

[Show definition of Academic Culture]

Through the collective mindset of teachers, administrators, students, and parents, each school develops and maintains its own academic culture. This generally relates to the norms and expectations created around academic performance. Many parents look to private schools because they want a specific type of culture. Some want a rigorous environment that will elevate their child to new heights. Others want a nurturing environment that will help their child develop a passion for learning.

Academic Culture approach at St. George's School: Rigorous

St. George's School has a Rigorous approach to Academic Culture (as opposed to Supportive approach).

[Show: About Rigorous?]

Our Kids definition: A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

Compare St. George's School's Academic Culture with other schools on OurKids.net:
  Rigorous - 51%
  Supportive - 49%

What St. George's School says about their academic culture:

Our mission is Building Fine Young Men. One Boy at a Time. At St. George's School, every student is encouraged to explore new opportunities and take on challenges in their learning. We are a community that inspires our students to grow in mind, heart, body, and spirit. With a wide variety of courses, clubs, arts, and athletic options, students find and pursue their passions.

Developmental priorities Intellectual

[Show definition of Developmental priorities]

Schools have specific goals regarding how they want their educate and develop their students. This is part of a school's overall philosophy or vision, which is contained in its mission statement. While they tend have several developmental aims, schools tend to priortize certain aims, such as intellectual, social, spiritual, emotional, or physical development.

Primary Developmental Priority: Intellectual

The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

Secondary Developmental Priority: Balanced

Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.

What St. George's School says about their developmental priorities:

“Making a positive difference to your community.” That’s how we define leadership at St. George’s. Guided by our six core values - Integrity, Humility, Resilience, Empathy, Respect, and Responsibility - our students lead from within in a school where every boy is known, loved, engaged, and achieving.

Special needs support No support

[Show definition of Special needs support]

Schools offer a wide range of approaches and services to support students with special needs. This may include individualized learning, one-on-one support, small classes, resource rooms, and learning aids. These supports may be provided in a number of different environments such as a dedicated special needs school or class, an integrated class, a withdrawal class, or a regular class with resource support or in-class adaptations.

Gifted learner support No Support

[Show definition of Gifted learner support]

Schools support students with gifted or advanced learning abilities in a several ways. Whether they offer a full-time gifted program or part-time support, they normally provide some form of accelerated learning (delivering content at a faster pace) or enrichment (covering content more broadly or deeply). Many schools also offer a wide range of in-class adaptations to support advanced learners, such as guided independent studies, project-based learning, and career exploration.

Curriculum Delivery: Enrichment

The main focus is on enrichment. This means that while students may work at a marginally quicker pace than public school peers, the primary aim is to study subject in broader and deeper ways.

Qualitative insights

These insights are based on conversations with parents, alumni, and school leadership. Handpicked and curated by our editor, they offer a close look at how the school is experienced and perceived by those who know it best.


The school supports individualized and diverse learning journeys.

Insights from the St. George's community, including students, parents, and administrators, indicate a commitment to personalized education and diverse course offerings that cater to various interests and learning styles, fostering both academic and personal growth.

The school recognizes both my sons’ individuality. We value that the school is structured, inclusive, and open-minded, with multiple ways to learn. My older son loves school—he enjoys everything about it, but I think a large part of his enthusiasm comes from the unique experience at St. George’s. The school has allowed him to adapt and has kept his interest because of how engaging they make the learning process. My younger son is different; he’s not naturally inclined toward school, but he enjoys going because he sees how the school supports him.
—Jessica Hanick, parent (beginning in Gr. 1) (see full interview)
For my older son, the most valuable aspect of the school is the sense of community. He appreciates the inclusiveness and the fact that no matter what his closest friends are doing, they always come back together as part of this amazing group of people. My younger son values flexibility in learning. He appreciates that the school is structured but also open to different approaches, so students are not confined to a single way of learning.
—Jessica Hanick, parent (beginning in Gr. 1) (see full interview)
The Social Studies Department provided an environment where students could engage deeply with concepts, and we questioned assumptions and applied knowledge in meaningful ways. The department's structure supported the overall goal of deeper engagement with learning. The space had wide boards, moveable doors, and a flexible layout, allowing for collaboration among classmates and even across different classes. My year was large enough to accommodate two social studies classes happening simultaneously.
—Nicolas Wicaksono, alum (see full interview)

There's a strong focus on academic excellence and university preparation.

Comments from alumni and administrators highlight that St. George's School excels in providing high-quality education across disciplines, especially notable in subjects like Social Studies, while equipping students for future academic and life challenges.

The academic excellence of St. George's School stands out. The level of academics was top-notch, and it prepared me well for college studies. I particularly appreciated the Social Studies Department, which gave me critical thinking and analytical skills, rather than mere memorization.
—Nicolas Wicaksono, alum (see full interview)
The first reason I would recommend St. George’s is that it provides an excellent education with full support for each child’s individual journey. Every teacher and advisor is dedicated to helping students find their path.
—Jessica Hanick, parent (beginning in Gr. 1) (see full interview)
The first reason to choose St. George’s would be that the academic excellence is unparalleled and provides strong preparation for higher education. Second, it’s the sense of community that extends across students, faculty, administrators, and alumni, offering valuable networking and mentorship opportunities. Third, the school emphasizes mission-driven education, ensuring that students not only develop strong technical skills but also cultivate a sense of responsibility and ethical awareness.
—Nicolas Wicaksono, alum (see full interview)

Academic learning is collaborative and holistic.

Feedback from the school community, including students, parents, and alumni, underscores St. George's strong community ethos, where inclusivity, collaboration, and camaraderie support students' holistic development across academics, athletics, and the arts.

Through my experiences at St. George’s, I believe that the teachers push us to become the best version of ourselves, not only through academics but through the wisdom and life skills we gain along the way. Although they challenge us, they are always there to support us through any difficulties. I think they strike a good balance in what they ask of us—encouraging us to aim high while understanding our individual limits. The expectations are generally clear, and I appreciate that they often take the time to explain their goals to us. When teachers talk about success, I feel they envision it as more than just grades or academic achievements; they see it as developing resilience, critical thinking, and a sense of responsibility. For them, success is about preparing us to make meaningful contributions to the world and become thoughtful, well-rounded individuals who can face life’s challenges with confidence.
—Ziming Wang, student (beginning 2020) (see full review)
At St. George’s, the academic work feels well-balanced, challenging us without overwhelming us. One thing I appreciate is the ability to choose many of our own courses, which allows us to adapt our learning to our personal interests and strengths. This flexibility helps me stay engaged and ensures that I’m focusing on areas that will be meaningful to me in the future. The teachers also play a big role in supporting us through this journey; they’re always available to help clarify concepts or provide extra guidance when needed. I believe that the skills we are developing—critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving—will definitely be useful later in life. The academic program here isn’t just about memorizing facts but about shaping us into adaptable, capable individuals who can apply our learning beyond the classroom.
—Ziming Wang, student (beginning 2020) (see full review)
I feel fortunate to be part of a community where I am constantly supported, whether by friends, teachers, or mentors. These friendships have been invaluable, and the time spent with my classmates has enriched my school experience beyond academics. Additionally, the numerous opportunities available at St. George’s, whether in academics, extracurricular activities, or personal growth, have been transformative, allowing me to explore my potential and challenge myself in ways I never thought possible.
—Richard Ying, student (beginning 2020) (see full review)

The academic environment is supportive and communicative.

Observations from students and teachers reveal that St. George's School's academic environment is characterized by supportive faculty who communicate expectations clearly, prioritize student well-being, and encourage open dialogue to enable personal growth and resilience.

Our task is to create an environment where we encourage them to take those risks knowing it's going to all be okay. And so it is quite inspiring to us to see how many boys, by the time of graduation, have found something that they love. It's far more fulfilling for us to send them off to their next adventure knowing they're going somewhere they want to go. They're just a really lovely aspect of what we do. We really work hard to find places where a boy feels his learning resonates with him.
—David Young, Head of School (see full interview)
my academic work, I feel supported by my teachers, and am able to genuinely connect with them inside the classroom and around the school. Whenever I need help understanding important topics in a course, or have questions for my teachers, they never hesitate to make the time to help me with whatever I need.
—Matthew O'Leary, student (beginning 2013) (see full review)
They truly create an environment where students feel supported academically, socially, and personally, making it a place where we can truly thrive. One thing I appreciate is the teachers’ dedication—they go above and beyond to ensure we understand our material and succeed, providing extra help when we need it and challenging us to reach our full potential. The personal and university counsellors are also fantastic; they make themselves available for personal or academic advice, helping us navigate both school and life challenges. All in all, the resources dedicated to us students are all we could ask for, they aim to help us succeed and gain valuable knowledge to take with us into life after St. George's.
—Timothy Trinh, student (beginning 2019) (see full review)
