George School

George School's a breaks the year into seven five-week terms, allowing students to have high degrees of focus and wellness while creating a customizable curriculum. In addition, as possibly the only Quaker IB school in the world, you will find intellectually engaged students who care deeply about each other and the larger world. The George School Academic Program is built for flexibility and innovation. Students can be themselves even as they work towards transformative growth. Faculty can create unique interdisciplinary courses that energize the classroom. The program gives every member of our community agency to be daring—to carve their own paths, their own passions, their most authentic selves. With the generosity of an anonymous donor, all students enrolled in a travel-based academic course can participate in domestic and international travel with no course fee. Approximately 100 students participate in these courses each year. Expressive Arts. Self-expression has long been a cornerstone of a George School education. Through a wide-ranging, deep-thinking arts program, we give our students the opportunity to speak what is in their hearts and in their dreams. In image and song and dance and performance, they tell stories of self-discovery, explore new perspectives, and integrate ideas and experiences from other classes and other parts of their lives. Kindness, goodness and global citizenship. As a Quaker community, we celebrate diversity, practice empathy, and recognize our global citizenship. We empower our students to become responsible, compassionate, and courageous leaders who will positively impact our collective future. Athletics with integrity.
