SGIS Named 2025 Best Coed Christian School in Greater Memphis by Niche
St. George’s Independent School (SGIS) has officially been named the #1 Best Coed Christian High School in Greater Memphis and the #2 Best Coed Christian High School in the State of Tennessee, according to Niche’s 2025 rankings.
“This is an incredible recognition for St. George's,” said Taylor Cao, Chief Marketing Officer. SGIS isn’t just known for good test scores (though they have those, too). What really sets them apart is their investment in people.
“I believe what contributed the most to this honor from Niche is our community,” says Cao. “Our students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, and other community members are what make St. George's so special.”
What Makes SGIS Stand Out?
While rankings like Niche’s take into account college placement, standardized test scores, and student reviews, Cao credits their success to not only the outstanding faculty but also their outdoor education .
250 acres of wetlands surround the middle and upper school campus, giving students a rich and unique learning experience in the Midsouth. Through the St. George’s Great Outdoors (SGGO) initiative, students are immersed in nature as part of their academic experience.
Research shows that time spent in natural settings has life-enhancing benefits, from better concentration and reduced stress to increased creativity and emotional resilience. SGGO taps into all of that—while rooting students in an excellent education, making it a remarkably innovative school.
