Saint George School is a bilingual British international school in the Piantini district of central Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, serving boys and girls from age 2 through the end of secondary school. It opened in January 1965 with ten preschool children, under the early name 'Los Angelitos', grew year by year into an all-through school and moved to its present campus in 1972, when a Spanish-language programme was added to meet Dominican Ministry of Education requirements. In 1995 it became the first school in Latin America authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma, and today it combines a British-based international curriculum with the Dominican national plan of studies, leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and then the IB Diploma. Since March 2023 it has been part of Nord Anglia Education, the group's first school in the Caribbean, which brings links with The Juilliard School, MIT, UNICEF and IMG Academy. The community includes families from more than 45 nationalities and the school reports an average staff-to-student ratio of about 1 to 7. It is accredited by the International Baccalaureate, NEASC and the Dominican Ministry of Education, and is a member of the Council of International Schools. Graduates go on to universities in the United States, Canada, the UK and Europe.
