Frequently Asked Questions

The school uses a variety of methodologies, with inquiry-based learning being the most significant. This is part of our articulated set of courses offered by ICA, covering from Nursery to Pre-university. This methodology encourages students to investigate the quality and relationship of things, giving meaning to their learning and putting them in control of it.

Yes, we became an IB school in 2011 and offer the IB Diploma and Careers Programme in grades 10 and 11. Nursery through grade 9 follows ICA courses that provide articulated international preparation for both.

In Early Years, students have almost 60% of their instruction in English. In Junior School, it's around 50%. In Middle Years, it's just under 30% of the total instruction time. For the IB Diploma, the range varies depending on the chosen elective courses.

Depending on the grade level, we offer a wide variety of co-curricular activities. For younger students, parents choose the activities. There are sports, arts, science, music, and culinary activities for both Early and Junior School.

Senior students have a wide range of activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, including sports, cultural, artistic options, or just fun activities.

We are local members of ADECOPA (Asociación de Colegios Particulares Amigos), an association of private schools where we participate in various sporting, cultural, and academic activities.

Students with athletic skills are selected by coaches and trained to participate in interscholastic competitions. This training takes place after classes (3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for Junior and 3:00 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. for Senior). 

We also participate in sports tournaments organised by other schools like Newton, Markham, San Silvestre and Peruano Británico.

Our school is secular. We have students of various religions, but most of our students are Catholic. Religion classes are taught in English in Junior School and aim to internalise the practice of values in students' daily lives.

We encourage our students to participate in student exchanges and international experiences. We have various agreements and programs that allow our students to explore the world and enrich their academic and personal development through ISP, BSP, ISCA, Round Square, Coded, , among others.

We handle inclusion cases in close collaboration with the family. To support students with special educational needs, the family must share the respective evaluation reports to provide appropriate support. This work is ongoing through a team of highly trained professionals guided by our protocols.

St. George's College does not offer its own school transportation service. Instead, each family is responsible for privately hiring the transportation service that best suits their needs and preferences. This allows parents to choose the mobility option they consider the safest and most convenient for their children. We recommend carefully evaluating the available options in the market and selecting one that meets the required safety and quality standards.
