Royal St. George's College (RSGC) is an Anglican-affiliated 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[1] as an Anglican choir school in the tradition of the great collegiate and cathedral choir schools in the United Kingdom, the school admitted its first students in 1964. It is the only pre-university school in Canada authorized to use the "Royal" designation (after the "Royal Grammar School of Montreal", founded in 1801 and united since 1846 to the High School of Montreal, closed in 1979), and it houses the historic Chapel of St. Alban-the-Martyr, the former cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, and the See House, the former Queen Anne Revival style residence of the Bishop. RSGC is also the official choir school for the Cathedral Church of St. James.
In July 2011, Stephen Beatty (Class of 1986) became the school's seventh headmaster.[2]
