George School is pleased to welcome visitors to campus. Prospective students and families will take an individual campus tour led by a current student as part of the interview process. You will also have the opportunity to visit campus for Open House and other in-person events throughout the year.

We also hope you will spend some time in our Virtual Visit Center where you can take an online campus tour, register for upcoming events, and learn more about George School.

Please call 215.579.6547 to schedule your admission interview. While most of our interviews will take place on campus, we will have opportunities for students to interview via Zoom as well.

If you are a non-native English speaker, please review the instructions for international applicants for additional information about the interview process.

Please contact the Admission Office at 215.579.6547 or admission@georgeschool.org for more information.

George School does not require students to submit Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) scores. In place of the SSAT, George School requires a writing sample to be administered in the interview process. In addition, George School will require applicants to submit a sampling of their mathematics coursework. More information about the mathematics sample, please review the Mathematics Sample section in Step 4 below. For students who do wish to submit SSAT scores, our school code is 3364. PSAT, SAT and ACT results reported in the current academic year are acceptable for eleventh grade applicants.

Candidates for whom English is a second language should take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Our school code for TOEFL is 8138. Students who may have difficulty completing the TOEFL or the IELTS should contact the Admission Office at admission@georgeschool.org.

We want to make the application process as easy as possible. Because many students apply to multiple schools, we accept the Standard Application Online (SAO) from SSAT. After you begin the application process, you can track the status of your application through SAO.

Additional recommendations:

If you attend a Quaker meeting please have your clerk fill out the clerk recommendation form.

George School will accept additional recommendations beyond the required recommendations listed in SAO. Should you have additional recommendations, they may be mailed directly to the Admission Office or sent via email to admission@georgeschool.org.

Mathematics sample:

Because George School is not requiring completion of the Secondary Admission Test in this admission cycle, we ask all applicants to submit the following to the Admission Office:

• A photograph of the cover of the table of contents of the mathematics text book, or a link to the on-line mathematics curriculum you are currently using
• 2-3 examples of math work you feel represents your best mathematics work from this current academic year. This can be a graded homework assignment, quiz, test, or an extracurricular mathematics work. The mathematics work does not have to cover a specific discipline. Please limit these samples to five pages each.

For International Students:

• Please provide a link to or a copy of the mathematics syllabus for your current year
• Please indicate when you would next take a national exam (such as the IGSCE) and what exam that would be, if applicable

Materials for the Mathematics Sample should be sent to the Admission Office (admission@georgeschool.org) electronically as an email attachment. Materials should be received by February 1.
