King George V and Elaine Bernacchi School

The educational facility occupies a location in South Tarawa alongside the Ministry of Education head office, serving students from across the region.

The institution emerged from a 1965 merger of King George V School, founded in 1922 for boys, and Elaine Bernacchi School, established in 1959 for girls.

The school maintains academic standards through competitive entrance examinations, preparing students for leadership roles within Kiribati's governmental and educational sectors.

Students who do not gain admission to King George V and Elaine Bernacchi School may pursue education at Christian high schools throughout Kiribati.

The institution relocated multiple times before settling in Bikenibeu in 1953, marking a period of educational development in South Tarawa.
