St George’s College North is an independent, co-educational day school. It is situated in Los Polvorines, in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, on a stunning campus of 8 hectares with purpose-built buildings and ample playing fields. Since its founding in 1990, and like St George’s College Quilmes, founded in 1898, it has gained a reputation for itself as one of the leading schools in Buenos Aires. Many experienced contract teachers from abroad work alongside Argentine colleagues to give the College a truly international atmosphere. Although the majority of our pupils are Argentine we also cater for international students. At least 50% of the classes are taught in English.
We offer a first class bilingual education, whilst paying special attention to the formation and development of children’s characters through an extensive tutor and pastoral system. The integrated curriculum that we have developed fulfills the basic requirements of the Argentine system and adds the rigour of the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma examinations. The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) starts in Kindergarten at the age of 3 and is a key element. It is integrated into the curriculum and drives the learning process of our pupils into Secondary School where all students take IGCSE examinations, at age sixteen, and the IB Diploma before graduating. They also obtain their national Bilingual Diploma at the same time.
We believe sport, music, the arts, outdoor pursuits, leadership and community service are integral to college life and much time is devoted to these areas. Our aim is to bring out the full potential of each one of our students.
