St. George's School

Our School

We are a Nature Reserve

Our school is a natural reserve made up of a savannah wetland inhabited by multiple species of birds, fish, frogs, algae, among others. In addition, we enjoy large areas of high Andean forest and gardens that provide food and shelter to many species of flora and fauna and can be appreciated on a daily basis. We have identified 208 species of plants and 35 species of birds.

INNOVATION and TECHNOLOGY

The School has always been at the forefront of the latest technology. The goal is for our pupils to develop the skills and abilities to be able to interact with technolgy using a critical and dicerning mind; as well as having the ability to contribute to a new generation of knowledge.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES and CLUBS

We have more than 45 activities in a space during and after school hours (at no additional cost) to explore new interests and discover talents. These spaces allow students to develop their passions or skills through commitment to the activity of their choice, teamwork or learning a specific skill. We have artistic, cultural, musical, sports, science and technology spaces, among others.

Food Service

The food service offers our community natural food, without colourings, preservatives or chemical substances. We have organic gardens that supply approximately 70% of the vegetables consumed at school. We seek to create good eating habits in our students, who receive continuous monitoring of their nutritional status.

Emilio Silva Otero

11th grade pupil

"I was captain of Quimbaya and the lead percussionist of the Symphonic Band and I was fortunate to have had a leading role in the SGS Musical 2023. The School was fundamental in choosing my career and it was through the extra-curricular activities that I discovered many new horizons and my passion for music."

Omar Cifuentes

Music Teacher

" For the last 12 years I have been a teacher of wind instruments in the School. I am also the conductor of the SGS Junior and Senior Orchestras. It has been a wonderful experience that I share with all the teaching staff. Our orchestras are not only among the best in Bogota but also in the whole country."

Alumna graduated 2004

"During the 13 years I studied in the School, I learned many things, such as organization, discipline, responsibility and above all love for the environment. This is one of the aspects that led me to study biology. The School is a green area with its own lake. We are taught to value all species and to look after and protect them. I think that this was my greatest motivation in choosing my career. Now, my daughter is in the School and she will benefit from it as much as I did."
