Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on three pillars characterized by Quality-Excellence, Value-based approach and holistic view.
The quality excellence is exemplified by the academic area which relies heavily on strong academic performance provided by well selected teachers and staff. This excellence spills over students’ experience, research and teaching, faculty and staff support in addition to communication.
The values-based approach is apparent via the students’ character; students at Saint – Georges are developed and nurtured holistically to realize their full potential.
The holistic view is revealed by the extra-curricular activities which provide a plethora of opportunities to be seized by students based on the belief that such activities shape and build the positive attitude of our students and put the real world in perspective. This contributes to putting the theoretical framework into practice.
In addition to these pillars we are committed to the following in our educational approach:
Fostering the moral values of students in an environment characterized by its diversity
