St. George's Girls' School is an all-girls secondary school in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. Originally established in 1885, it is notable for its academic achievements and notable alumnae from different racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, leading to its inclusion in the Malaysian Ministry of Education's Cluster School and High Performance School systems.[1] The school is academically selective, accepting only the top ten percentile of students from a number of primary schools, including Islands Girls' School, Northam Road Primary Girls' School, and Residency Road Girls' School. The teaching curriculum and environment is secular, making it popular with students from diverse racial, ethnic and/or religious affiliations. School facilities include well-equipped science laboratories, athletic field tracks, tennis courts, gymnasium for gymnastic training, and school canteen where students can buy inexpensive meals.
