Dear Saint George Community, In honor of our patron saint, our Upper School students planned, prepared and served a beautiful luncheon for our entire school community. Fr. Yanni led us in prayer, as we asked our patron saint to continue interceding for our beautiful school. We then sat down together for a wonderful meal and celebrated the incredible community that has formed here at Saint George Classical Academy. Last week we invited you to take part in our Saint George spring giving campaign. If you are inspired by the work we are doing, we invite you to contribute to our spring matching [...]

After studying math and bioethics at Georgetown University and then philosophy and theology as a Rhodes Scholar, Dr. Pound earned her medical degree from McGill University and began a career in pediatric medicine.  She worked for almost twenty years as a pediatric hospitalist, mostly caring for sick and injured young patients in the emergency department. In 2018, Dr. Pound started to homeschool and thus began a new journey of teaching, learning, and embracing classical literature and history.  Since then, she has homeschooled three of her four children for various seasons -- while continuing to work in the ER.  Recently retired from [...]

Dear Beloved Saint George Community; Families, Benefactors and Teachers, Happy Feast of St. George! Not only is today the feastday of our patron saint on the new calendar, it also marks the  miraculous three-year anniversary of incorporating our beautiful school. God has truly blessed us! Each spring we celebrate the Feast of St. George—a saint remembered for courage, faith, and unwavering conviction. At Saint George Classical Academy, we strive to cultivate those same virtues in our students every day through an education that forms both mind and body—which are nurtured by “Poetry and Gymnasium” which were considered by Plato to be the two foundational [...]

As the snow started falling on Tuesday evening, it was "curtain up" to a full house at Saint George Classical Academy.  Our very own Mrs. McKinley directed a beautiful performance of The Canterbury Tales; from handmade costumes to thoughtful choreography and creative staging, our students experienced Chaucer's works come alive as they took on different roles on stage. This production was a true pilgrimage for our students, many of whom had never been on stage. Theater is not only an opportunity to embody beautiful literature, it builds virtue, confidence and collaboration. And, we couldn't have had more fun performing.

Dear Saint George Community, At Saint George Classical Academy, our mission is to partner with parents in order to equip our students with the faith and skills necessary to meet the challenges of the modern world.

We have come to the end of the calendar year, and I am deeply grateful to each of you for believing in and supporting our mission. Because of your trust and generosity, we more than doubled our student population this academic year and added both violin [...]

This Christmas season, our students have been preparing for Nativity by learning hymns and carols, making gingerbread houses, decorating our tree with handmade ornaments, and making gifts for each other and for their families. Our upper elementary students went to North Shore Music Theater to see a production of A Christmas Carol, and our Middle and Upper School students went to Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker. Last week we had our second annual Christmas concert and this week, we visited the Boxford Council on Aging to share carols, lunch, and Christmas cheer. The greatest gift of course is the Nativity of our Lord and our [...]
