St. George’s School of Montreal

Private School Education Marketing Photography

Private School Marketing Photography

St. Georges’s School of Montreal is an amazing independent school with some serious history. The school was founded in 1930 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. When the communications team reached out and asked me to collaborate for their private school educational marketing photography project, it was an immediate yes. Montreal is a fabulous city, so a return trip was a nice bonus. I was also drawn to St. George’s sense of community and their passionate dedication to progressive education.

We teamed up with the top notch Atlanta based education branding firm, Firebrand. You’ll notice on the school’s fabulous new website, Firebrand did an impeccable job with all of the rebranding details. St. George’s has two incredible campus locations. The elementary school is in Westmount (K-6) and the high school campus is in Montreal close to Mount Royal Park. We decided three full days of photography would be ideal to meet their strategies for increasing school enrollment and awareness.

Here are a few images from the photo story we created together. Enjoy!
