Plenty of opportunities to get involved

Much of what students learn at Saint George’s happens outside the classroom. Lower School students gain new skills through Chess Club, develop their own Art Club projects, and win statewide honors on Math-Is-Cool teams. They enjoy after-school sports camps and private music lessons on campus. Middle School students explore literature through a monthly Book Club, share their own creations at Writer’s Club, or build and program robots.

Saint George's School

By the time students have reached Upper School, the options are nearly endless. Join a Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) team. Publish articles in The Manuscript. Measure up against the top engineering students in the world through robotics competitions. Our Knowledge Bowl quiz team has never finished below second place in the State B tournament. And Outdoor Club students are constantly in motion – hiking, climbing, canoeing, skiing – often directly from campus. There is a group or club for every interest, and if there isn’t then students can, and regularly do, start new ones with the school’s support.

  • 5th Grade Math is Cool Earns State Berth

    Our 5th Grade Math is Cool team was thrilled to get 3rd place at Regionals and qualify for the State Tournament. A record 88 schools sent teams, with Saint George’s competing in Division I with the larger schools. The team will compete in May against other 3rd and 4th place teams at State. Congratulations also to Anna Nowland for placing 2nd in the individual competition and to Alyssa Fery for placing 6th!

  • Robotics Team Competes at Regionals

    The SGS Robotics team played well at the Portland Regional competition last week. Their advanced drive train and shields made Robot 1595 one of the top defensive robots in the competition, which was the team’s goal. Focusing on defense unfortunately limited their ranking scores, and they finished the competition just short of making the finals. Coach Kendall Milar says the students put long hours into their creation, were proud of how well it performed, and enjoyed the excitement of the competition.
