St George's College, Weybridge is an independent mixed Roman Catholic co-educational day school in Surrey, England. It had historically been an all-boys' boarding school. The first girls entered the 6th Form in the 1960s and the school decided to take girls at age 11 in 1998. In 2000 with the closure of sister school St Maurs, the two schools merged to make St George's fully co-educational.

There are approximately 850 students aged between eleven and eighteen and four houses- Kilmorey, Southcote, Stirling and Petre.

Its teachings are based on Josephite tradition (founded by the Belgian Constant van Crombrugghe), the order of priests that established the school. [ [http://www.st-georges-college.co.uk/content.aspx?id=449] ] It has several other Josephite sister and brother schools elsewhere in the world (in Belgium, the United States and Congo) and close links are maintained between the schools. The school has also founded an orphanage in Romania.

Grounds

The school has the largest grounds of any independent school within the M25.Fact|date=April 2008 Two river Bournes, flow through the grounds where they meet in the north eastern corner before flowing northwards into the River Thames at Hamm Court, Weybridge. The River Bourne (Chertsey Branch) enters the grounds in the north west corner and the River Bourne (Addlestone Branch) enters the grounds from the south east corner.
