"I have been at George School since 1990, and I am ready to answer any questions that you may have regarding the financial aid or application processes. I have been fortunate enough to have my children graduate from here. Having witnessed them blossom into caring adults, I know what a truly special place George School is. The academics more than prepared them for college, but what was most impactful was their teachers challenging them to open their minds and think outside the box." |
Other Roles at GS: George School Parent (Emily '06)
"As an Admission Interviewer I think that I have the best job in the world as I get to meet and talk with interesting and passionate young men and women on a daily basis. As a parent of a former George School graduate (Emily '06) who had an amazing and transformative experience here as a student and an athlete, it is easy for me to share with these young people my enthusiasim and respect for all that this great community has to offer. I feel extremely fortunate to have spent the majority of my career working in Quaker institutions where kindness and respect are taught and exemplified in every day life." |
"Joining the Admission team at George School has been a wonderful and welcoming experience for me and for my family. I was drawn to this tight-knit community for its warmth, its energy, and its remarkable people. I enjoy working with students and families as they consider their education plans. Moreover, as a former student-athlete at a local boarding school, I understand the excitement and the challenges that families are facing." |
