St. George’s School Duisburg

Über den Betrieb

Founded by Marietta Horton in 1985, St. George’s The British International School has always strived to offer a high-quality international education within a distinctively British environment. From small beginnings, with just 15 pupils in Cologne, the school has expanded into three purpose-built sites in key German cities: Cologne, Düsseldorf Rhein-Ruhr and Munich. Throughout this impressive growth, we believe that we have managed to maintain a family atmosphere in the schools, focussed on our vision and values. Since we first opened, St. George’s has been independent and family-owned. Our board still consists almost exclusively of members of the founding family, who are represented on a day-to-day basis since 2006 by the Managing Director Stuart Horton, the son of the founder. Mr Horton works alongside our other board members, who have high levels of expertise in education, effective management practices and corporate finance. St. George’s Schools all adhere to a common set of standards developed by the schools in liaison with the Managing Director. Within this framework, each school is run by its School Director, who is the key contact for all parents at the school. Parents can make an appointment with the School Director by contacting the School Office.

At St. George’s, it’s our goal to provide students with a solid foundation, and to enable them to reach their highest potential. Our school culture is grounded in values that fuel a passion for lifelong learning and that motivate pupils to use their voices to drive change, to inspire, and to empower others across the globe. Curiosity stirs enthusiasm for continuous exploration, inquiry and learning. This is the energy that fosters open minds, innovation and opportunity. Our curriculum is designed to nurture curiosity and inspire our pupils to engage in an education that is relevant and unbounded. It takes courage to step forward, to explore and to lead the way. This is the foundation on which we build integrity, confidence and resilience. Our pupils are courageous because they stand up for what they believe in and lead by example. Confidence is the motivation to engage with people, present ideas and seize opportunities as they arise. It is built on experiences and success. Our mission is to provide our pupils with the confidence, choices and tools needed to maximise their individual potential. The diversity and inclusivity of our community is our strength: we seek to build mutual trust and respect, while preserving individual identity, unique thoughts and personality. We share our passions within our community and genuinely care for each other, as well as those in the broader world. In September 1985 St. George’s School first opens its doors to 15 pupils in Cologne. The St. George’s family is founded. The school begins to flourish and moves sites several times to accommodate its growing members. Despite changes, a strong sense of community emerges. Following the success of the school in Cologne, a sister school opens in Düsseldorf Rhein-Ruhr in 2002. The St. George’s spirit is quickly ignited in this new location. Now a mature school, St. George’s School Cologne moves to a permanent, purpose-built location on the outskirts of the city in 2009. Pupils enjoys modern and spacious facilities. Our school in Düsseldorf Rhein-Ruhr quickly follows, opening the doors of its purpose-built site in 2011. Our youngest school, St. George’s School Munich, opens its doors in September 2013 and begins to follow in the footsteps of its sisters. Working together with a shared ethos, the schools never stand still and are constantly developing to stay at the forefront of education. Our teaching staff form the core of the St. George’s community and bring their passion for education into the classroom.
