Since July 2006, King George Secondary was approved by International Baccalaureate (IB) to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for students in grades 8, 9, and 10,[2] as one of the only 3 schools in the city to offer the MYP Programme.

The school is adjacent to the West End Community Centre, enabling youth to get more involved in their programs.

King George was an IB MYP approved school, offering such program to the students of grades 8, 9, and 10.

King George also hosted City School, a program for grades 10, 11 and 12 that involves students leaving the traditional secondary school setting to work in a more challenging, independent setting, with a different schedule, smaller groups of people, and only a few different teachers.

Gateway Alternate Education Program was aimed at at-risk youth who have been absent from schools for a some time and those who were homeless.
