King George V School (KGV) was a government high school for boys in the Gilbert Islands (now Kiribati), within the British colony Gilbert and Ellice Islands.
It served as a boarding school,[1] and trained people to be government workers and teachers.
[2] John Garrett, author of Where Nets Were Cast: Christianity in Oceania Since World War II, wrote that many of its alumni "shaped a nucleus which assisted" the independence of what became Kiribati.
[2] It was originally located in Bairiki, South Tarawa, where it opened in 1922.
The following year the Tuvaluan students were transferred to Motufoua Secondary School on Vaitupu.
