At Saint George Academy, rigorous academics are about more than mastering content. Students learn to ask meaningful questions, think critically, make connections across disciplines, and apply what they know to the world around them.

Our academic program brings together three defining elements of a Saint George education: the inquiry-driven framework of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme, our commitment to place-based learning throughout New York City, and the individual attention possible in a school that is small by design.

Together, these create an education that is challenging, personal, and connected to the world beyond the classroom.

Across the humanities, mathematics, sciences, technology, world languages, and the arts, students develop strong disciplinary knowledge while learning to question, analyze, research, communicate, and create.

Learning at Saint George goes beyond finding the right answer. Students are challenged to make connections across ideas and disciplines, consider multiple perspectives, and understand not only what they are learning, but why it matters and how it can be applied to the world around them.

At Saint George, learning is active, purposeful, and connected to the world beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to ask meaningful questions, explore ideas across disciplines, and take increasing ownership of their education.

Interdisciplinary and place-based experiences bring learning to life, using New York City as a setting for investigation, discovery, and real-world application. Students learn to make connections — between subjects, between ideas and experience, and between themselves and the wider world.
