Royal St. George's College is an independent school for boys located in The Annex neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school admits boys from Grades 3 through 12. Founded in 1961 as an Anglican choir school in the tradition of the great collegiate and cathedral choir schools in England, Royal St. George's admitted its first students in 1964. It is the only pre-university school in Canada authorized to use the "Royal" designation, and houses the historic Chapel of St. Alban-the-Martyr. On August 1, 2009 Mr. Steve Griffin, former head of the Upper School at Upper Canada College, succeeded as the College's fifth headmaster. On February 25, 2010, Mr. Griffin resigned. Mr. Paul O'Leary was appointed temporary headmaster while a search was undertaken for Mr. Griffin's replacement. In July, 2011, Mr. Stephen Beatty '86 will succeed as the College's seventh headmaster. St. George's began as the vision of a group of Anglican clergy and laity in the 1950s interested in establishing a permanent home for the rich tradition of choral music for boys' voices in Canada.
