Newtown and Beyond
When you visit, take some time to check out the quaint borough of Newtown, in historic Bucks County—a quick one-mile walk. George School may be older than your great-grandparents, but Newtown is older than the country itself. Nearly a century older. And not long ago, it was named one of the best small towns in America. Can’t get much better than that.
Beyond walking distance but still nearby are more shopping and movies, parks and natural areas, and the charms of towns like New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Princeton, New Jersey. When you want more, take a van to area attractions and fun expeditions as well as to trains to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. even. Having these three cities—and all their wonders—easily accessible is awesome.
Truth be told, though, there’s enough happening on campus that boarders don’t feel like leaving very often and day students routinely come back on weekends. It’s all part of the life of this place. People want to be here. It just feels like home.
