Thinking Extremely Far Outside the Box

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.

Developing Leadership Skills on the Fields and Courts

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.

Encouraging Student-Generated Learning

As a teacher, my duty is not just to teach mathematical concepts, but to inspire curiosity and demonstrate how what we are learning inside the classroom has application outside of the classroom and outside of my discipline. Programming can be a way of making mathematics come to life, and it is a joy to see students take the initiative in this way.

by Hamilton Davis, Mathematics Teacher, George SchoolFebruary 25, 2021March 7, 2021

Exploring Global Politics with the Model United Nations Club

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.

Learning Time Management is Key to Success

I came to George School from a much smaller school where students did not receive grades until 6th grade and we never had a lot of tests or homework. At George School, I was introduced to a much more rigorous academic environment. Grades weighed more heavily than in my past

Creating Structures for Successful Independent Learning

Using the Modules system in Canvas, Environmental Science and Systems teacher Becky Hutchins created new learning structures that allow students to take control of their own education and to thrive while doing so.

Learning about Myself in Ceramics

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.

by Skylar Karpf '21 February 16, 2021February 16, 2021

Collection Builds Friendships

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.

Making Politics Personal

Politics is indeed personal, and it is my hope that our students’ learning isn’t just relegated to complex terms and theories, but the idea that politics requires their participation and their passion.

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.

Learning in a Pandemic

This semester I am attending classes as a remote-learning student due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Sometimes I am not able to access Google or Zoom due to the lag in our VPN service. I was very worried about being disconnected from a Zoom class because I knew it would

Take the IB Student Challenge

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 Favorite Courses

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.

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

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.

by Alex Rawlings '21 December 31, 2020January 12, 2021

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

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.
