Giving
It is through the generosity of the Georgian Community – alumni, alumni parents, parents, grandparents and friends of the College – that we are able to give boys the experience of a lifetime. Enriching programs in academics, music, art, drama and athletics help make for a well-rounded education that leads to a successful future.
Your generosity allows us to continue to make the Georgian experience the best it can be and accomplish our goals as a College. There are many ways you can support RSGC. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions.

“Never have we understood the importance of human connection like we have this past year.”
From the Headmaster
A Message from Stephen Beatty '86, Headmaster and father of Jack, Class of 2022 and Finn, Class of 2025
The answers to these questions have never been clearer to me. I want to be here on campus with our boys, our teachers and our school community, and I know that this is also where our boys belong. I want to be able to have face-to-face conversations, understand what our boys are thinking and feeling, and guide them to becoming the best versions of themselves. This is one of the greatest privileges of being a Headmaster – the ability to connect with others on a daily basis and building a stronger community where we feel that we all belong.
Today, I ask for your financial support of the College – funds to strengthen our community and allow us to continue to make meaningful connections with our boys, our alumni and our community as a whole.
Click here to see how your gift made a profound impact last year and allowed the College to pivot quickly to make the needed adjustments for the return to class this fall. Thank you for continuing to support the College. Your gifts as parents and members of the community help us to continue a long-standing tradition of funding enhancements to the College’s facilities and programs.
Gratefully,
Stephen Beatty '86
I’m certain that many of us have questioned our decisions about who we spend time with and how we spend that time. Questions that make us think about where we belong and why it matters so much to us.
