International Service History
George School’s history of international service began in 1947, when the school took part in post-World War II reconciliation efforts by establishing relationships with two schools in Germany. George School students donated supplies to the German students and worked side by side with them to help rebuild their schools.
Today, in addition to engaging in ongoing service at local sites in Bucks County, George School students participate in service projects in countries such as Costa Rica, France, India, Nicaragua, South Africa, South Korea, and Vietnam, as well as domestic locations such as Arizona, coastal Louisiana, coastal Mississippi, and Washington DC. To fulfill George School’s sixty-five-hour service project requirement, students can participate in a trip, engage in local service, or devise an independent project.
