Clubs & Groups
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.
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.
