St. George's College focuses on providing a bilingual education in English and
Spanish, based on British traditions and a British-International curriculum.
Apart from promoting bilingualism and cultural diversity the school's
philosophy is based on focusing on each student's individual social, emotional
and learning needs which are evaluated and taken into consideration in order
to help each student achieve their full potential in all areas, be it academic,
physical or creative. Great importance is placed on individual formation and
the development of values as well as the emotional well being of the student.

emotional well being of each individual as we believe this to be fundamental
to achieving success not only academically but also in life.
Personal formation and values, therefore, are central to the philosophy of the
