At George School, we’re brighter together.

Our community strives to recognize and honor the Light within, and our faculty and staff commit to the continuous work of building a school where everyone feels safe, empowered and loved.

The George School Academic Program re-imagines the school day. It empowers faculty to be bold, creative and collaborative. It empowers students to choose their own challenges: the IB diploma, IB courses, APs, adventurous opportunities for global study, artistic expression, service learning and more. The result? An education that gives students the freedom and the support to become their most authentic selves.

Justin Brandon, Head of School

“I was drawn to George School in part because of its long-standing commitment to building an intentionally diverse, global community of citizen-scholars.

Our Commitment

Rooted in the belief that all have a divine spark, the George School Experience aims to inspire a dynamic relationship between self-awareness and social cohesion. Alongside encouraging each “to let their lives speak,” George School endeavors to equip those gathered here to be deep listeners — to others and to themselves.

George School is committed to inclusiveness and equal opportunity and does not discriminate in its admission, educational or employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.

We actively encourage candidates of color, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates from communities that are historically marginalized and underrepresented in independent schools. We seek candidates who can show a commitment to the traditions and philosophy of a Quaker educational community, a working style consistent with Quaker values and a demonstrated commitment to working towards belonging, inclusion and cultural competency.

Our goal is to be a community where people with vastly different backgrounds, identities and perspectives thrive, are treated equitably and are united in their mutual respect and the pursuit of a common good. This belief is reflected in the school’s motto, “Mind the Light.”

George School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools.
