Saint George’s
Saint George’s stunning campus is the perfect setting for teaching students life skills through our Outdoor Program. They learn to cooperate while paddling canoes down the Little Spokane River, hiking through the state park land that surrounds the school, or helping each other scale our indoor climbing wall and the Dragon Crag in the woods above campus. Through it all they learn to cope with adversity, practice teamwork, and develop their leadership skills as they grow into responsible young adults.

“I got to hang out, sit by the fire and talk with the other freshmen on the “Freshman Outback” trip to Upper Priest Lake. I canoed part of the way with a girl who was new to the school, and it’s easier to get to know someone that way than in a classroom.

But it’s not all serious business. Middle and Upper School students can join the Frisbee golf club or take the Friday Night Ski Bus to Mt. Spokane. Beyond the campus they can pursue school-sponsored expeditions into all kinds of environments. Mountain biking through Utah’s Green River canyon, sea kayaking around Puget Sound’s San Juan Islands, backpacking into Idaho’s mountain wilderness – Saint George’s Outdoor Program offers some great adventures.
My favorite activity is to run in the woods. You can talk about anything with your friends or run alone and really think about deeper things. Those special moments that you experience and all the options for activities outside class – it’s what makes our school unique.
