School Notes
- St. George`s School is a nurturing and collaborative community where students of all backgrounds champion and support each other. Here on the Hilltop, we teach our students the value of learning and achievement, service to others and respect for the individual. We believe that these goals can best be accomplished by exposing students to a wide range of ideas and choices in the context of a rigorous curriculum and an inclusive residential community. Our proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and historic downtown Newport enable students to connect to the world beyond our campus.
