Why choose St. George's College?

In 1932, British educator Minnie Nikolas creates San Jorge School in Miraflores with the aim of teaching English to children from the neighbourhood. It begins with a mixed kindergarten class and six students. This small academy marks the beginning of an educational project that, over time, will become one of the most renowned British schools in the country.

With the move to Schell Street in 1936, the school takes on the name St. George’s and begins operating as a bilingual school. Miss Nikolas promotes an education that integrates core values such as respect, honesty and moral strength, laying the foundations of the school’s educational model.

On 1 April 1956, the school establishes itself on its new campus on Av. Montaigne in La Aurora, allowing for greater capacity and growth. It expands its provision across the three educational levels and consolidates itself as an institution. For a time, due to government measures, it once again adopts the name San Jorge de Miraflores.

With the opening of the Villa campus in 2011, St. George’s commits to modern infrastructure that enhances its educational offering. Sports fields, specialist classrooms and an environment designed for holistic development make this campus “the big school” for students as they grow within the community.

This was a transformative milestone for St George’s College, as it became a proud member of International Schools Partnership - ISP.

Becoming an ISP school was St George’s College’s gateway to a dynamic global network of world-class schools. It provided access to unparalleled opportunities for our students to collaborate across continents, engage in innovative learning projects, and develop the skills to thrive as true global citizens. The world just became our classroom.

Seeking to strengthen the foundations of learning from the earliest years, in 2025 the school opens its third campus: Little St. George, in La Calera. This space, designed for Nursery and Pre-Kinder, offers comfort, safety and an educational approach aligned with the institution’s innovative British identity.

With 94 years of history, St. George’s College has established itself as a benchmark in British education in Peru. Its commitment to innovation and international education is reflected in strategic partnerships with organisations such as Round Square, IB, ICA and Adecopa, which strengthen its academic and educational offering.
