Reach Out of Your Comfort Zone

If I could change anything that I did during those first weeks at George School, I would advise myself to go sit at a different table with unfamiliar faces and to reach out to more new people.

by Lexi Alloway ‘21January 5, 2021January 8, 2021

Coming Full Circle

The first week of school is always my favorite week of the year, hands down. While my children think I am crazy (they think the last day of summer vacation is the worst!), I know I am right. So, why is that week always the best? I mean, the start

Everyone is a Learner

At George School, everyone in the community is a learner, including the teachers, and learning is not entirely one-sided or dominated by teachers.

How to Find Your Next Digital Book

Search the online catalog of your local library and, much like you would do with a print book, you can checkout the digital book for a loan period that is set by the library. Within minutes, you can have your next book downloaded and ready to go.

Being Accepted for Who You Are

At George School, I found the rare ability to feel so comfortable within my own skin while pushing myself to be the best possible version of myself that I can be.

Celebrating Christmas and a Second Home

I remember when George School first felt like home around Christmas, the time I thought I would be most homesick. It was my first holiday season at George School and I began to get anxious because it was my first few months at school and I didn’t know who to

Boarding Life Brings Worldwide Friends

Wacky adventures, worldwide friends, and around the clock support have allowed me to feel at home in every dorm I’ve lived in at George School.

by Ben Berman '21 December 22, 2020February 16, 2021

An Immediate Sense of Belonging

The community at George is filled with amazing people who treat one another not only with respect but also with love.

by Franklyn Yadaicela '23 December 19, 2020January 12, 2021

A Love for Theater

The George School performing arts program allows people from all different parts of the world to express their culture and understanding of theater within our classes and performances.

International Students Feel Right at Home

Being away from home has taught me many things, but being an international student has taught me that everyone is different and not everyone will think like you. George School does an amazing job of making you feel at home.

Learning French and Service in Montrèal

On this trip, we’ve witnessed the hardships of survival, experienced the power of grit and perseverance, and learned to understand the absolute necessity for communication. To change the world, we must begin by understanding each other—and ultimately, learn to love all people for who they are.

by David Xi '21 and Jada Wooten '20December 11, 2020January 30, 2021

Diving and Learning in Bonaire

In Bonaire, it was really amazing to think about how everyone else is living their lives on land, while the fish and the corals are living separately in a different world underwater. The fish and other marine life that amaze us are just normal, daily life for everything that is living subaqueously.

by Arran Goldman '21December 4, 2020January 30, 2021

French Immersion in Montrèal

On our second day of service in Montrèal, we all woke up reluctantly and exhausted. It rained off and on today which allowed us to cool down for the first time since we arrived. Trying to not let exhaustion consume us, we got ready to go back to Moisson Montrèal.
