St. George’s School of Montreal empowers its school community to sustain and enhance the environment, both locally and globally. Building on the foundation of our Six Guiding Principles adopted in 1935, we are making the commitment to model responsible attitudes and actions early in the life of each child in order to develop an environmental and social ethic and a respect for all life.

Our mission states that we educate our students to become responsible world citizens. By fully integrating environmental conservation with economic planning in a cooperative setting with a common goal, we can achieve a peaceful, healthy and sustainable future for generations to come.

This policy is based on the following Eight Key Elements, which must be considered to determine how the policy can be implemented.:
