St. George's Independent School

St. George's Independent School is an Episcopal day school in Collierville, Tennessee, enrolling 700 to 1,000 students in pre-K through grade 12. The Memphis-area campus offers the academic breadth of a full pre-K–12 program without the residential demands of boarding school. Faculty teach, advise, and mentor during school hours, then leave campus each afternoon—a rhythm many educators prefer.

The school's structure rewards teachers who work across grade levels. A language teacher might instruct elementary classes in Spanish, then lead Latin in the middle school and advanced seminars in high school. Early-childhood specialists collaborate with elementary generalists, building curriculum continuity that spans years. St. George's offers French, Latin, and Spanish, creating natural partnerships among language faculty and vertical program coherence that isolated secondary departments cannot match.

Episcopal values are explicit in the mission, yet St. George's frames character development as integrated into academics and advising rather than separate from it. This appeals to educators who want their faith or values to inform teaching practice without it overwhelming classroom content.

Day-school benefits differ from boarding models. On-campus housing is not required or offered. Instead, St. George's invests in competitive salaries, professional development, and retirement contributions suited to commuting faculty. The school maintains strong financial health with net assets exceeding $12 million and recent fundraising growth supporting classroom resources.

St. George's hires year-round for teaching positions across all divisions and subjects, language instruction, and administrative roles. For educators seeking an Episcopal independent school in Tennessee with defined working hours and academic rigor, the school presents a clear alternative to residential models.
