George School Voices

My Ceramics teacher taught me how to think extremely far out of the box and taught me to be nothing but myself, not just in Ceramics classes, but also in life. She always believed in me and my abilities and most importantly would take the time to teach me new techniques.

George School gives everyone the opportunity to experience and try anything they want, and to be a fully well-rounded student and an athlete. As a freshman, I discovered the balance between my leadership skills through my actions on the field or the court with lessons learned from watching the seniors and more experienced players on the team.

There are so many clubs to join at George School, and every club is happy to have new members stop by their meetings and learn what their unique group is all about. I was introduced to Model UN at the George School Club Fair in the fall of my freshman year and now I am glad to share everything I have learned with new members.

Turns out, Ceramics was the Arts course for me. Amedeo not only teaches us about the wonders of clay, but he also builds connections with us and keeps our classroom time lively. I’ve also learned from the course itself is that art has zero limits.

One of the really special aspects about George School that I love is the connections we students have with our advisors and collections. My advisor helps me with everything.

At George School everyone is genuinely loving, caring, and wishes for one another to succeed.

Although the courses are challenging, your learning experiences as an International Baccalaureate student cannot be matched in a regular course. You learn how to work with others, organize your time. and create your own research projects.

My academic experiences at George School have greatly influenced my extracurricular pursuits, as well as the career paths that I plan to pursue after college.

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.

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

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.

My dorm became my second home, I became more involved in helping out the dorm community. I began to realize that George School wasn’t only a high school but a caring community and will forever be my second home.

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.
