In 1896, the Rev. John Byron Diman, founder of St. George's School, wrote in his “Purposes of the School” that:
"the specific objectives of St. George's are to give its students the opportunity of developing to the fullest extent possible the particular gifts that are theirs and to encourage in them the desire to do so. Their immediate job after leaving School is to handle successfully the demands of college; later it is hoped that their lives will be ones of constructive service to the world and to God.”
