St George’s School is a prominent all girls’ day and boarding school set in tranquil parkland in a popular residential area of Edinburgh.
Established in 1888 by the pioneers of women’s education, the school is one of Scotland’s largest all girls’ school and the only all-through independent, private school in Edinburgh for girls from 3 to 18 years.
Our 'YES SHE CAN' approach, embodied in the abundance of strong female role-models and the range of opportunity help inspire every girl to find the path that is right for her. Our academic curriculum is a unique mix of GCSEs at 16 followed by Highers and Advanced Highers in the Sixth Form.
Rated 'Excellent' by Education Scotland in the most recent school inspection, St George's consistently achieves outstanding results in both Scottish and English exam qualifications.
