George School proudly presents Chicago: The Musical – Teen Edition, the final production of current Arts Department Head and Director Mo West. “Over the past 28 years, I have had the privilege of producing musicals on the Walton stage.

Essentials of an Intercultural Friends Community (EIFC) is an introductory course for all ninth-grade students. It provides academic and executive-functioning coaching, as well as orientation to the social and philosophical expectations of their new community. EIFC offers an introduction for students to life at George School and to the application of Quaker practices and principles as a framework for living. It emphasizes self-awareness, motivation, goal setting, organization, communication and the establishment of a growth mindset through research-based practices.

Quaker education fosters belonging, confidence and lifelong ways of thinking that shape not only successful students, but grounded, compassionate humans prepared for the world. In this reflection, George School parent Sydney Lewis P’25 and recent alum Halaylah Lewis-McGlothan '25 share the value of their George School experience from their own perspectives.

In 2023, Susan and Edna gave their enthusiasm for tiny homes and intentional living a name (“Living Large: Spiritual Design in Small-Space Living”) and created a course (their shorthand for it is the “Tiny House class”) that includes classroom work and, every other year, fieldwork in New Orleans. The course challenges 11th and 12th graders to examine societal norms that call for mindless excess … and recognize their agency to make other choices. 

When Rachel Stephen ’26 traveled to New Orleans for her immersive service-learning trip, she expected to help build a house from the ground up. What she found instead was a lesson in the quiet, persistent work that remains two decades after a disaster.
