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.

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.

Studying Sustainability in Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, I realized that what I had most enjoyed was getting to know members of the local community and seeing plants and wildlife I had never seen before. It hit me that travel isn’t just about relaxing and taking photos, it is about working to understand a world different than our own.

by Kim Major, Co-Director of Admission, George SchoolNovember 20, 2020February 5, 2021

Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone

Providing our students with the confidence and skills to approach challenging work without an overwhelming fear of failure, and the mindset to see the failures they will have as opportunities to learn something is far more important and transferable than any set of facts we could teach them.

by Amedeo Salamoni, Ceramics and Sculpture Teacher, George SchoolNovember 13, 2020February 5, 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.

Visiting Golden Monkeys in Rwanda

Tomorrow will be an early morning to see the rare Golden Monkeys followed by a visit to a cultural village for drumming, dancing, and local food. Students are in good spirits, engaged in the work, and learning to work as a group.

by Polly Lodge, Head of Science Department, George SchoolOctober 30, 2020February 18, 2022

Religion or Religions?

Learning about some of the major religious traditions of the world—including their symbols, practices, rituals, and representations of the divine—is a wonderful portal into the discipline of becoming a world citizen.

by Tom Hoopes ’83, Head of Religions Department, George SchoolOctober 23, 2020February 18, 2022

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.

by Meredith Baldi '01, Director of Professional Development, History Department Faculty, George SchoolApril 29, 2021May 14, 2021
