The school is located in a Harare?suburb, Alexandra Park; . The land was donated to the Jesuits. This led to the relocation of the school site from Bulawayo?to Harare.

This site is next to the official Zimbabwe State House, and the Official President’s House called Zimbabwe House, the home of the Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.
Saint George’s College is a competitive School as an entrance examination has to be taken to enter Form One.
