School profile

St George’s School is a girls' school in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. The school has academic and social links with Merchiston Castle School – a nearby boys’ school. As a girls’ school, St George’s promotes freedom from stereotypes and encourages their girls to take all the opportunities they can.

Best known for...

St George’s School has a unique curriculum as it is one of very few UK boarding schools where pupils can sit GCSEs followed by Highers and Advanced Highers instead of A Levels. The different exam system can be beneficial for students who want a broader study programme, as pupils will usually study five subjects at Higher and up to three at Advanced Higher.

Academic Families Director speaking to a Kazakh student

Choosing the best education for your child leads many families to consider British schools and universities. However, it is not an easy decision to make.

Our team works hard to understand the needs and strengths of your child, match them to the UK boarding school best suited to their needs, and support them throughout their time in the UK.

Quality you can trust

Academic Families has personal and professional experience with boarding schools. Many of our staff attended boarding schools themselves when they were young or have worked in them. We have all lived overseas and most of us are mothers, so we understand how important it is to find the very best education for every child no matter where that might be in the world.

From our headquarters in Edinburgh to our local staff across the UK, our team regularly visits hundreds of British schools. Our excellent knowledge of the UK education system, accreditation by the Boarding School Association (BSA) and certification from the British Council means we understand UK boarding education from the inside and out, and know how to ensure the best education for each child.

In addition, our guardianship service has been Gold accredited by AEGIS (the Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) since 2016 and also by the BSA, so you know, with Academic Families, you're guaranteed to have the best local support anywhere in the UK.

Moreover, our team are trained MHFA Mental Health First Aiders so we are qualified to support our students with any wellbeing and mental health concerns.
