MEE T T H E HE A DM ASTE R
Welcome to Royal St. George’s College. Since 1964, RSGC has been providing an extraordinary learning environment for boys in the heart of downtown Toronto. The Georgian experience has always transcended an outstanding academic education. Our mission is to challenge and inspire each boy to become the best version of himself. Our RSGC guarantee of Known and Loved is something that is lived everyday at the school. Each boy is challenged and supported academically, athletically, artistically, socially and emotionally to become the best version of himself. The best version of himself is a man of character. The best version of himself is an inquirer, a problem solver and a thinker. The best version of himself is engaged in a breadth of experiences and understands what it feels like to commit fully. The best version of himself is cultivated in authentic relationships with outstanding educators who are passionate about their students. The best version of himself is a Georgian. There is an intangible quality to a great school; something you can sense when you walk in the door. It’s the sense of community and the culture of respect. It is the esprit de coeur and the sense of pride and belonging among the students. It is the way the school resonates and simply feels right. I welcome you to come and visit Royal St. George’s College and see, feel and understand the benefits of the Georgian experience for yourself. Sincerely,
Stephen Beatty (Class of ’86) Headmaster

We offer a stimulating and supportive environment where boys are challenged to push the boundaries of their thinking and education. Our academically grounded, innovative and hands-on curriculum emphasizes project and inquirybased learning with a focus on creative problem solving, critical thinking and the understanding of the relationship between actions and ethics. Georgians design, experiment, empathize, evaluate and imagine. They welcome adversity and challenge as a part of their learning.

WE ‘GET’ BOYS
Boys in the Junior School reveal their talents and abilities through our academically based and inquiry-based learning. Senior students are offered opportunities to deepen their knowledge of themselves and the world around them while leveraging their strengths to pursue academic excellence. Our urban location provides access to some of the finest academic and cultural facilities in the city, many within walking distance.
At RSGC, we understand and appreciate that boys learn and develop differently across all ages and stages of development. Our students learn with their hands, minds and bodies. Our boys move, think, explore, inquire, roll up their sleeves and engage with our curriculum and the world around them.
“Our boy received a fantastic education and he will be a better man for having spent his formative years at the College.” Alumni Parent

Grounded in the values of integrity, spirituality and propriety, RSGC equips boys with the skills required to navigate and live a balanced, purposeful life. We believe that when boys are truly happy, they are able to achieve their maximum potential.
We are a community that fosters a culture of respect and emphasizes thoughtful interactions with the world around us. Georgians do the right thing, even when nobody is watching.

A PLACE TO FI T I N AND STAND OUT
Boys love to be celebrated. We know that in order to take risks and achieve, boys need to feel safe and comfortable in their learning environment. Our school is like a family. Boys grow up here. They develop their confidence, expand their interpersonal skills, mature and make lifelong friends. At RSGC, we understand and celebrate boys’ differences.
