STUDENT BODY AND CLASSES Although the school follows a strong British cur-riculum and tradition, with English as the lan-guage of instruction and lingua franca around school, it is truly international in many respects. The celebration of cultural diversity is at the heart of the school’s ethos and admission poli-cies. Pupils are enabled to be very active partici-pants in their learning, and the life of the school, through our small class sizes and their many op-portunities to participate in both whole school and House events. As they progress through school they have the opportunity to choose the subjects they study but Mathematics, Sciences, English and foreign languages are always the core part of every individual’s curriculum.

FACULTYAlmost all teachers at St George’s are British, with a small number also coming from coun-tries such as the US, Canada, Ireland, Australia, South Africa and Italy. All are highly experienced and have previously taught in schools in the UK or internationally. They each hold university de-grees, many have higher degrees and all have postgraduate teaching qualifications. All teach-ers participate in pastoral care and guidance through a tutorial system, with specialised ad-vice given on university entrance.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROGRAMMEThere is an extensive extra-curricular provision in place at St George’s. Music is a very active department with a full orchestra, jazz band, percussion group and a range of choirs from Madrigals to Barber Shop. The groups perform regularly at venues in Rome and tour annually to European cities. Drama is also popular, with various senior school productions taking place

throughout the year. The school supports an orphanage in Zambia founded by a former member of staff, providing opportunities for pupils to organise fund-raising activities and to travel to Zambia to contribute to projects. Sports teams include soccer, rugby, hockey, volleyball, tennis and basketball. Other clubs include Model United Nations, Debating, Stu-dent Council, Environmental Awareness and the Yearbook.

ACADEMIC RIGOURSt George’s follows the UK National Curriculum, culminating in (I)GCSE examinations at age 16. These demanding, internationally recognised exams lead on naturally to the Internation-al Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) (age 18). The IBDP consists of six courses over the two years of the Diploma, and is further enhanced by the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS (Community, Action, and Service). This is the qualification that all of our graduates obtain in order to facilitate entry to universities and colleges around the world. All students at St George’s are expected to follow the full IBDP for their final two years of study. On occasion, provision is made for IB certifi-cate courses. The school consistently achieves 95%+ success rates of students achieving the full Diploma.

RANK AND GRADE POINT AVERAGESt George’s does not rank students. The high rate of student turnover in international schools and the diversity of assessment practices and procedures in the systems from which our stu-dents come make formal ranking invalid. We do not calculate an official GPA for our students.
