We are a bilingual school of British origin, founded in 1958. Our School is co-educational, Calendar B. The School seeks to shape the country's future leaders, developing students in an environment of liberal education, with a standard of excellence, always striving to stand out in everything they do; with an honest work ethic, self-discipline for life, and a sense of solidarity with the less fortunate in society, as a solution to the country's social problems
We believe that our mission is to offer our students an education that encompasses all the aspects a 21st century citizen needs to have a successful life in the future: academic, social, artistic, sporting, musical, and personal and religious values, within an honest, decent, healthy environment of respect for all forms of life on our small planet.
The School was founded on the principles of British origin by Mrs. Mary Allen de Acosta, a British citizen.

In recent years, the SGS Entrepreneurs Network has been growing stronger, aiming to be a space for sharing the initiatives and ventures of the different members of our community, so that they can offer their products and services to one another; some of them are even suppliers to the School.
AEXSGS was founded in 1997 with the goal of creating, restoring, and preserving the bonds between the St. George's School of England and its alumni. This is in order to uphold the School's own values, extended through time and generations, and to strengthen relationships among alumni, thereby fostering mutual collaboration.
Another of these is the Parents' Association – ASIN, which reflects the close relationship that exists between the School and parents, carrying out different activities for the benefit of the school community. Likewise, the Parents' Council carries out important projects each year in order to offer services and spaces for the benefit of everyone; the Council has representatives from all levels of the institution.
