St. George's College is a public Catholic secondary school, located in Kingston, Jamaica.

Initially founded as a school for boys only, in 2005 the College opened its pre-university programme (Sixth Form) to female students.

St. George's Colonial College was founded in 1850 by twenty-one Spanish Jesuits who had been exiled from Colombia as part of a religious persecution.

Amidst a storm of protest against Roman Catholic priests opening Jamaica's first secondary institution for classical and scientific education, St. George's College began its long and proud history.

The first subjects taught at St. George's included Latin, Greek, French, English, rhetoric, history, mathematics, logic, metaphysics, ethics, drawing, and calligraphy.

Gil, S.J., departed Jamaica to teach in Guatemala, turning St. George's over to the English Jesuits.

James Jones, S.J., the school reopened with twenty-five students and moved back to its original site at 26 North Street, again under the name St. George's College.

On this occasion, the strong petitions of ninety-two influential Kingstonians convinced the Jesuits to reopen St. George's College.

Thomas Porter, S.J., assured the continued life and irrepressible growth of St. George's College, which has endured to this day.

They converted the Pawsey residence into a classroom building and had classes started before the end of March.

Enrollment in the College at that time was barely one hundred boys, but more classroom space was needed.

It was blessed and dedicated by His Lordship Bishop Emmet, S.J., in the presence of His Excellency Sir Arthur Richards, KCMG.

St. George's College decided to become a grant-in-aid school in 1936, and it became a part of the Government's educational system.

The student body was divided into three "houses":Bellarmine, Campion, and Xavier, named after Jesuit saints.

In 1950, as part of the College's Centenary Anniversary, the Old Boys' Association made a commitment to construct a pavilion at Emmet Park.
