“Colette Weber is absolutely insane, but in a good way. She’s a great teacher and she genuinely cares about her students. We always have hilarious fun.”






Can you share some experiences with students who are considering George School?

When I visited, it felt like the best fit for me. George School has a relaxed and informal vibe, and I loved that students call teachers by their first names. I didn't even spend a whole day here, but it just felt right.

My advice for new students? When you get here, you won’t know many people, so no one will know who you have been in the past. You have a clean slate, and for freshmen, everyone is new. You can be whoever you want to be. Be open and completely yourself. George School is an amazing place with amazing people.

It doesn't matter what grade you are in. You can make friends with anybody here. As a sophomore, I was in classes with some freshmen and juniors, and it was awesome to interact with people from other grades. I also enjoy learning with my teachers.

Just don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
