George School is a place where students from around the world come together to learn, grow and build lasting connections. Each September marks the beginning of a new chapter: a first step into a new community, a return to familiar faces or the start of a final year filled with reflection and anticipation. From students just starting their George School journey to seniors preparing for their final chapter, learn what September means to them.

CLASS OF 2027

 

Brian Anyanwu:

“This time, September feels like two clocks starting at once. One counting down my last year here; last first day, last pit dance, last soccer pre-season, all the little George School traditions I thought I'd never have to say goodbye to. The other is counting up toward what’s next. Meanwhile, outside, fall is beginning to remind us that change can be beautiful, even if it means letting something go. Simultaneously, both clocks are counting, one as an ending chapter, and one as the beginning of another. Regardless, I am excited for this year and ready to take on what it has to bring.”

Christina Ozhogan:

“When I think of September, I think of my friends. Whether they’re international or local, September means that even after a long summer break, we all finally get to see each other again. It's a time to catch up, reconnect with people you’ve missed and to also meet new friends. I like to think of September as a time for a fresh start, a chance to create memories with new friends and even more with old ones. Even the trees on campus start to reflect that as they transition into their fall oranges and yellows, reminding us of the new school year ahead of us and all the fun times we'll have with our friends.”

Kai Adachi:

“When I think of September, my mind goes straight to fall weather, crunchy leaves, hoodies, apple picking and the start of a new school year. Overall, it brings me to the start of the best part of the year.”
