St. George's School (nicknamed S.G.) is a private, Episcopal, co-educational day and boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, a suburb of Newport. The school is built on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
St. George's campus covers 125 acres in southern Rhode Island, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The campus was laid out by the Olmsted Brothers architectural firm. In 2004, the school's core buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2018, Architectural Digest named St. George's the most beautiful private high school campus in Rhode Island.
In The Official Preppy Handbook, Lisa Birnbach states that the school "place[s] a strong emphasis on the spiritual life."
