St. George's School

Founded in 1930, St. George's School is a boys' day and boarding school in Vancouver, British Columbia, serving Grades 1 through 12. Day students start in Grade 1. Boarding opens in Grade 8. Total enrollment tops 1,000, making it one of the larger independent schools in Western Canada.

The curriculum is wide by design. Faculty work within more than 50 academic electives, language offerings in Mandarin, French, German, Japanese, Latin, and Spanish, and over 50 athletic and club options. Teaching jobs here come with clear co-curricular expectations. Most faculty coach a sport, advise a club, or help run boarding life, and boarding house duty is a defined part of the role for residential staff.

Compensation reflects a resource-rich school in an expensive city. St. George's holds net assets near $280 million on annual revenues close to $50 million, which supports competitive independent school salaries, extended health benefits, and pension contributions typical of BC independent schools. Boarding faculty roles often include on-campus or subsidized housing — a meaningful benefit in Vancouver's housing market.

The academic payoff is concrete. Each year, 100% of the graduating class of about 158 students is placed at universities in Canada and abroad, with a large university guidance team working alongside classroom teachers.

Hiring runs across subjects, athletics, boarding, admissions, advancement, and administration. Teaching faculty searches concentrate in the winter and spring before each school year. Boarding and coaching roles post on a rolling basis, and applications are submitted through the St. George's School careers portal.
