Letter from the Head of School Thank You
Dear Friends, As I write this letter, looking out over a campus filled with children who are here for the George School Day Camp and for a variety of other sports, academic, arts, and equestrian camps, my appreciation for the beauty and flexibility of our campus just continues to grow. This year we celebrated the opening of Cougar Track and Cougar Field and enjoyed cheering on our teams. On weekends, our new all-weather track and turf field was full of students throwing footballs, practicing hurdles, tossing a lacrosse ball, or putting together a pickup game of soccer. As we saw with the Mollie Dodd Anderson Library, this new facility was more than an athletic classroom. It quickly became a community gathering space as well as a source of pride and encouragement for our students and teachers. In addition to our new track and field, this year we marked the two-hundredth anniversary of our meetinghouse. Originally built in Philadelphia in 1812, our meetinghouse was moved brick by brick and truss by truss to its present home on campus in 1974. To all of us at George School the meetinghouse is the school’s spiritual center, a place of spiritual practice where we show up, sit down, tune out distractions, and look within. The building brings together the spiritual vitality of those gathered, focuses it, and sends it out with them again. In our academic classrooms, I am pleased to report that this spring 134 sophomores, juniors, and seniors took 207 Advanced Placement (AP) exams in nineteen subject areas and 85 percent of these students scored a three or above on all of their exams. (AP exams are scored on a scale of one to five; college placement requires a score of three or above.) Our success in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program was equally strong. This year, a record 143 George School students tested in thirty-five subject areas for a total of 357 examinations for both the certificate and diploma programs. Thirty-seven candidates earned their full IB diplomas, a 92.5 percent success rate. These students tested successfully in six different subject areas, four of which are required to be higher level exams. We are proud of what these AP and IB results say about the motivation, commitment, and hard work of our students and faculty.
Our citizen scholars delighted the community with numerous plays, concerts, and choral performances as well. You Can’t Take It with You, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Pippin were showcased on our stage and Dance Eclectic celebrated its twentieth anniversary with thirty-five dancers. Instrumental and vocal music students performed throughout the year with Warm Music on a Cool Night and the Spring Concert being two highlights of the year. Our athletic teams brought home the Patterson Cup, affectionately known as the Moose, this year. Our winter and spring track teams attracted record numbers of students and they excelled. Our girls’ 4 x 400 relay team captured first place in their match at the Eastern States Invitational this spring. Our varsity boys’ swim and varsity wrestling teams were Friends Schools League finalists. The varsity girls’ softball team won their Penn Division. Our seniors were accepted to some of the best colleges and universities around the world. They will attend eightyfour institutions in twenty-five states and two foreign countries. New York and Pennsylvania were tied for the most popular destination. Two of our IB diploma candidates are headed abroad, one to Canada and one to England. While most seniors were drawn to large and medium-sized urban campuses, Haverford College and Sarah Lawrence were the most popular this year among small colleges. This was also a strong year for women’s colleges, with Wellesley, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, and Smith, all in the mix. We are proud of all of these graduates and wish them the best. We are also proud of the many George School students who distinguished themselves in the area of service last year, traveling in March to France, Italy, Mississippi, Nicaragua, South Africa, and Washington DC, and this summer to Arizona, Cuba, New Orleans, China, and Ecuador. While in these locations, students engaged in a wide variety of service projects, many involving home stays and all involving collaboration with the communities they were serving. George School students also participated in service projects on campus and in our local community. Some students created independent service projects while others participated in the Global Service Program trips to China and Ecuador. The final 2011-2012 accomplishment that I want to mention has to do with our Annual Fund. I am thrilled to

Admission Reflections on an Admission Year Almost 200 families visited George School during the fall admission open house. Activities included studentguided campus tours, department and program displays, and opportunities to speak with faculty and current parents.

At the start of the 2011-2012 academic year, George School welcomed 178 new students to our community, bringing our total enrollment to 545. It was immediately clear that this group of accomplished, creative, and inquiring students would add to the richness of our community. During the 2011-2012 admission cycle, our office saw a record number of applications, continuing the steady growth rate we have experienced over the last five years. More notable than the numbers was the impressive breadth of the applicant pool. They hailed from fifty countries, thirty-four states, and the Virgin Islands, and they displayed standout academic achievements and extracurricular talents. More and more families are considering George School for their children’s education, and this is especially impressive given the continued economic uncertainty and declining numbers of U.S. high school-age students.
This year the Admission Office implemented a new way for families to find and learn about George School. In the fall, applicants received our new, award-winning Compendium viewbook which combines full-page photos with musings written by students, alumni, parents, and teachers. The viewbook also includes “click away” boxes which encourage readers to visit a companion microsite to learn more about our programs. The stories, photos and “click away” features are meant to immerse readers in the atmosphere of the school. We held a greater number of events this year. In addition to our annual fall open house, we added several prospective family receptions at locations both on and off campus. We hosted online video chats for accepted students and their families which gave them the opportunity to hear Maureen West talk about theater, Chris Odom talk about robotics, and other George School faculty discuss academics, athletics, and financial aid.
In 2011-2012 we also combined our resources with the Advancement Office to create an Institutional Advancement Team. This allowed us to travel to eighteen states and eleven foreign countries this year, which far exceeded our reach in previous years. We also have continued our commitment to George School’s national leadership position in financial aid.
Distributing grants of close to $7 million, or approximately 25 percent of our total operating budget, we were able to enroll and serve a diverse population of students. This ability to offer considerable financial aid has been invaluable in helping keep George School affordable for both new and returning students.

“The most valuable technique I learned from theater teacher Maureen West was Meisner’s in the moment acting method. It helped my growth not only as an actor but also as a person. It also has given me an edge over the other international business majors because I am prepared to react calmly and instinctively to problems I am given, and to the mock interviews we have to do in class.” JOA N N R IK ER, CL A SS OF 20 09

“At George School we had permission to explore so many things—athletics, arts, science. You were rewarded for trying hard and having a positive attitude. No one was funneled into a specific niche. More importantly, it was cool to try new things. I could play on the football team and be part of the school’s musical productions. George School was where I found my creative spark.” S A M L AY B O U R N E , C L A S S O F 19 9 3

Academics A Transformative Educational Experience
Bruce Weller
Min Kyu Lee ’14 found a quiet place to study between classes in the Bancroft computer lab.
During 2011-2012, George School students achieved academic excellence, distinguishing themselves in many areas. This year, 143 students were tested in thirty-five different International Baccalaureate (IB) subject areas, for a total of 357 examinations. Out of these students, thirty-seven senior candidates earned their full IB diplomas, a 92.5 percent success rate compared to the international success rate of approximately 79 percent. This spring, 134 students took 207 Advanced Placement (AP) exams in nineteen subject areas and 85 percent scored a three or above on all of their exams. (AP exams are scored on a scale of one to five, with five being the highest. College placement requires a score of three or above.) This year, there were more scores of five than any other score. Thirteen students were named AP Scholars (a distinction granted to students who received scores of three or higher on three or more AP exams), three were named AP Scholars with Honors (average score of 3.25 on all AP exams taken, and scores of three or higher on four or more of these exams), six were AP Scholars with Distinction (3.5 average on all AP exams, and
scores of three or higher on five or more of these exams), and one was named National AP Scholar (average score of four on all exams taken and scores of four or higher on eight or more of these exams). George School students were also nationally recognized for their achievements. Twelve seniors were recognized as Commended Students in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program and David Minoli ’12 was selected as a finalist. Student groups represented George School at Model UN where two received commendations for their participation. Others were named Scholar Athletes and Eagle Scouts and represented George School with distinction at Junior State of America, the Columbia University journalism workshop, robotic competitions, district and regional orchestras, video festivals, art shows, and other scholarship programs. Three new courses will be added to the curriculum this year: two new religion electives, Spirituality and Sustainability, and Feminist Spirituality; and, a new science course, IB Chemistry.

Service George School students are required to complete sixty-five hours of service before they graduate, but most go way beyond their required hours to help local and global communities. This year, seventeen faculty and staff members led more than eighty students on nine service trips—five traveled domestically to Washington DC, Mississippi, Arizona, and Louisiana and four internationally to France, South Africa, Cuba, and Nicaragua. Several students participated in the Global Service Program service trips to China and Ecuador. Students worked in soup kitchens, built houses for Habitat for Humanity, worked as teachers’ aides on a Native American reservation, taught in French pre-schools, and in elementary schools in South Africa. Many shared their experiences with the community through daily blogs. “My trip was a life changing experience—a journey which has left me with a new perspective and approach to life that I hope to follow in the future,” said Peter Einstein ’12, summarizing his service-learning experience in South Africa. Students also used their individual talents to volunteer and help local organizations. They coordinated blood drives and worked with Woods Services and Miracle League to help people with mental and physical disabilities. The seventh annual Art for Relief featured work produced by students,
faculty, and friends to raise over $4,000 for Philabundance, a non-profit organization that provides food for low-income families in the Philadelphia area. Arts The performing arts program this year presented a wide range of wonderful programs for the community. The theater arts students delighted audiences with performances of You Can’t Take It With You, Moss Hart and George Kaufman’s zany comedy about the Sycamore family, during fall term. Oscar Wilde’s most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest, a delightful comedy of manners, was staged winter term. Musical theater students performed Pippin, based on a book by Roger O. Hirson, the tale of a young prince on his search for personal significance, in the spring. Dance Eclectic celebrated its twentieth anniversary, with thirty-five dancers featuring a range of dance styles and performances. Students in George School’s instrumental music program showcased their skills in performances featuring the String Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, Lab Band, and George School Orchestra. Two highlights included Warm Music on a Cool Night and the Spring Concert, both a captivating mix of student performances. The George School Chorale performed throughout the year, both on campus and at events hosted

College Guidance Class of 2012
William Tenenbaum
Members of the Class of 2012 marked Senior Week with a photo session in college gear on Hallowell’s porch overlooking South Lawn.
Each year George School’s commitment to educating a broad range of students results in an equally broad range of college choices, and this was certainly the case for the Class of 2012. The diversity of their talents and interests—from engineering to liberal arts to fine arts to business and beyond—were reflected in their decisions. Some students will attend Yale University, Cornell University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Others will attend Guilford College, Johns Hopkins University, the University of California at Berkley, and the United States Military Academy/Westpoint. Members of the Class of 2012 will attend eighty-four institutions in twenty-five states and two foreign countries. As has been the case for many years, George School seniors are drawn primarily to large and medium-sized urban campuses on the east coast. This year, New York and Pennsylvania were tied for the most popular destination for our graduates. For the Class of 2012, New York University, Drexel University, Boston University, George Washington University, and the University of Pittsburgh were the most popular schools in this category, with four or more graduates attending each. Three members of the Class of 2012 will also attend Emory University, Loyola University in Maryland, Pratt Institute, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Saint Joseph’s University, Syracuse University, and Washington University in St. Louis. Among the small colleges, Haverford College and Sarah Lawrence College were the most popular this year. This
was also a strong year for women’s colleges, with Wellesley, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, and Smith all in the mix. Overall, as you will see from the list below, the seniors’ choices reflect the full range of their talents and enthusiasms. George School seniors understood the ever-shrinking acceptance rates at the nation’s twenty or so most selective colleges, and applied accordingly. We are pleased to say that their applications were very well received, a fact that speaks to the academic preparation, personal qualities, and records of achievements they presented. Last fall, 111 college representatives scheduled visits to George School to meet with our students—a record number. The college counselors also met with these representatives, to learn more about their colleges and to convey information about George School. Increasingly, our students’ choices also reflect the rising cost of college education. Twenty-seven members of the Class of 2012, including six of the twenty-three international students, will attend state or state-related universities, which continue, even for international students, to be less costly than private colleges. Our students are also increasingly drawn to international experiences, either those offered by schools in the United States or at international schools. The college counselors continued to seek ways to improve services to our students and families, fine-tuning the process for requesting and submitting teacher recommendations, restructuring the initial small-group meetings with juniors
in January, and sending out monthly bulletins through our on-line service, Naviance Family Connection. These bulletins are continued through the senior year. With students from more than forty countries in our population, the College Office is also finding ways to reach out more effectively to international students, who face additional stress as competition from international applicants increases sharply at the most selective colleges in the United States. Looking ahead, we are exploring ways to demystify the college guidance process for families of younger students before they are matched with a college counselor in the junior year, and we are introducing a college tour for international students over the long weekend in February. Once again this year, we offered college essay-writing workshops to juniors in the spring and SAT “tricks and tips” workshops for juniors in the winter. Although many families contract commercial SAT prep services outside of George
School, rather than endorse specific commercial programs, the College Office continues to urge students to use the free, online test prep courses for the SAT and ACT, which are available through Naviance Family Connection. Interest in the ACT as an alternative to the SAT has grown, with about a third of our students now taking that test. This year, we offered the ACT here on campus in October and April, increasing the number of “test-taking weekends” in which our students are involved. As always, the College Guidance staff is grateful for the support of all of the George School teachers who write individual recommendations and who prepare our students so well for the difficult but important college application and selection process. We are privileged to be part of the team effort to support our students, and extremely pleased with the outcome.

The Deans’ Office is responsible for the care and support of our students outside the classroom. This includes dormitory and day student programs, oversight of student services, discipline, and social and weekend activities. The Student Activities Board helps create and run each and every weekend at George School. The energy and enthusiasm of the students selected to be on the board continues to help make the weekends fun and run smoothly. Following are some highlights from the 2011-2012 year. S eptember weekends focused on helping students get to know each other and to introduce them to the surrounding area. During Friends Weekend students enjoyed bowling, tie-dyeing, and visits to local malls and markets. Also in September, the day prefects designed a get-acquainted weekend for students and prefects and sponsored the first dance of the year. The month ended with Campbell/Westwood Weekend, designed to get students from the two freshmen dorms together for fun and socializing. H arvest Weekend in October is a highly anticipated weekend for the entire community. Along with hay rides, pumpkin carving contest, apple peeling for apple butter making, and apple press for cider making, this year Red Square was decorated with lights and hay bales for a community square dance.
I nterfaith Weekend was sponsored by George School’s Young Friends club to celebrate the myriad of faiths that are represented, not only at George School, but also in our world today. The Young Friends created several opportunities for students and adults to have open discussions about current events. E nvironmental Awareness Weekend was an opportunity for students to work with other community members to plant trees on campus, create a rain garden, and clean up trash alongside Route 413. Throughout the year, the Outdoor club also sponsored several hiking and camping trips as well as a few trips to the Doylestown Rock Gym. T he diversity of the students at George School was shared on special weekends such as those sponsored by the PRO (Pacific Rim Organization) and UMOJA clubs. On both of those weekends, students and parents helped make traditional food from their culture to share with the community. T hree big carnivals were held on campus, one for Sibling Weekend, one for Student Council Weekend, and one to end the year on Student Activity Weekend. Sibling Weekend activities included face painting, carnival rides, a bouncy house, cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn. Student Council Weekend featured a pool party and dunk tank, which helped students raise money for

Philabundance. The final carnival at the end of the year was called Georgestock. Held in the Worth Sports Center, the day included student bands and old-fashioned carnival games. Students enjoyed cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn as they listened to the music and had a relaxing time. Dinner was held at the outdoor pizza oven in our organic garden, always a community favorite. T he parents of George School Students continue to be a huge help to the weekend activities as well as the daily life of our students. They bake cookies for study nights before end of term exams and share wonderful desserts and delicacies for the annual Winter Formal. And weekends would not be weekends without the parents of our day students driving their children to campus so that they can participate in the weekend activities as well as hosting other students in their homes.

Buildings and Grounds Building a Sustainable Future

Chandler Rex ’13, Brinton Mooberry ’12, coach Stephen Moyer ’82, and Kostas Panagiotakis ’14 discussed the afternoon plans for track and field practice.
It was a busy year for the Physical Plant Office as we worked together to ensure our facilities provided the best physical tools to advance student learning and to meet the needs of our teachers–while maintaining the pristine beauty of our campus. Environmental sustainability is integrated into every facilities and planning project as part of our regular practice. Each decision and purchase is carefully weighed in relation to awareness of the ultimate effect on the environment. Cougar Track and Cougar Field The installation of the new all-weather track and synthetic turf—named Cougar Track and Cougar Field—was completed during fall 2011 to support our cross-country, field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer, and winter and spring track teams. The impressive multi-sport facility replaces the 1903 cinder track and grass football field with a larger playing surface that can accommodate a greater number of teams and athletes. The new all-weather running track is a six-lane 400-meter oval that includes a 120-meter, eight-lane sprint straight. In line with the best competitive facilities available, the running surface is constructed of several layers including stone subbase, asphalt, rubber granules, and polyurethane. This gives our runners, some of whom are the fastest in the state, the best possible protection against injury.
The new track and field has several green features. The sophisticated underground storm-water management system is designed to put all runoff back into the water table, while the artificial turf reduces the need for irrigation and chemical fertilizers and herbicides. The design also delivers increased usability due to its construction with materials that allow teams to practice and compete regardless of weather, which dramatically increases the field’s use for both games and practices. The complex also contains a new pole vault runway and portable landing pad, a high jump area, a foam rubber jump pit, two parallel runways for long-jump and triple jump, two sand pits, shot put launch circles, a discus launch pad, and protective screens. The advantages of the new track and field for teams and athletes are significant. But the benefits to George School extend well beyond that—to include greater use, pride, and community spirit. The state-of-the-art facility has become a focal point for pick-up sports during community off hours throughout the week as students, faculty, and staff can be seen using the facility to walk, jog, play catch, and kick balls.

Science Labs and Classrooms Major upgrades to three of the chemistry and biology lab-classrooms in the Spruance-Alden Science Center were completed during the summer of 2012. Each of the renovated rooms contains two separate instructional areas including five island lab stations equipped with accessible storage, sinks, and electric and gas outlets. The classrooms also feature updated technology including ActivBoards. The renovations helped create classrooms that can better accommodate hands-on, interactive learning, enhancing George School’s already strong science curriculum. New energy-efficient windows improve the natural daylight in the classrooms and offices. The air exchange throughout the building was improved so that all classrooms have tempered air based on carbon dioxide levels. In addition to the expanded lab and classroom areas, biology and chemistry prep rooms have been constructed for teachers to arrange lab experiments before class. These updated spaces are home to new storage and safety equipment including a dishwasher, a freezer, chemical solvent storage, flammables and acid cabinets, and fume hoods. This will help teachers more easily access storage areas and run their classes more smoothly. Another welcome addition is a private student-teacher conference room, allowing for individual test-taking, tutoring, and one-on-one or small group meetings. This is the second phase of renovations to SpruanceAlden Science Center, originally opened in 1971. The first
phase, completed in the summer of 2009, consisted of a major renovation of two science laboratories to accommodate heightened interest and enrollment in science classes. One of the main features of the initial renovation was the installation of a ceiling specially designed to provide space for hanging instruments used in physics experiments. Retford Windows Retford, home to arts and mathematics classrooms, was constructed in 1906 as the first separate academic building on campus. This summer, its window openings were covered in plywood as the windows themselves were removed by a large crane on South Lawn, then stripped, repaired, and repainted. Once every window was refurbished and reinsulated, they were rehung with new weather stripping and trim. The improvements to Retford built on the success of a similar project completed last summer in Bancroft. Redoing the windows helps bring more light into the classrooms and improves energy efficiency, preserving the building structures so that the tradition and the beauty of our buildings are enhanced. Sanitary Sewer Line Upgrades With more than two miles of underground sanitary sewer lines, George School has made a multi-year commitment to address inflow and infiltration issues as an important environmental initiative. Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) are terms used to describe the ways that groundwater and storm water

enter into dedicated sanitary sewer systems. Problems with I&I reduce the ability of treatment facilities to treat domestic wastewater. This year, existing sewer lines have been smoketested and filmed, manholes have been installed, repairs have been made, wastewater meters have been installed, and some of the existing sewer lines have been relined with a PVC alloy. Other Environmental Sustainability Initiatives George School remains committed to environmental sustainability in all aspects of community life, including our composting and sustainable food programs. Food scraps from meals and food waste from our kitchen are combined
daily sending approximately five hundred pounds of otherwise landfill-bound garbage to the campus compost heap each day. The composting program produces fertilizer for our sustainable organic garden, which provides organic vegetables and herbs for school meals. In addition, the farm to school program initiated by Food Service Director Joe Ducati of CulinArt, Inc. brings fresh produce from area farms to George School’s dining room.
Strategic Plan

Moving Forward Kathy Rogers ’75 reviewed homework assignments with Helene Nicolosi ’14 and Jack Ford ’14 during their Literature and Composition class.

In January 2009, George School approved a five-year strategic plan to chart our future. The school’s impressive momentum in moving forward on important goals can be seen in the highlights below in each of the five strategic areas— educational program, diversity, environmental stewardship, facilities, financial aid, and financial sustainability. Educational Program Goal Ensure that we provide a transformative educational experience that is deeply grounded in Friends values by continuously reviewing and improving our academic curriculum and pedagogy, our community life and service programs, and the mechanisms by which we attract and retain a high caliber of students, faculty, and staff. W e continuously evaluate potential improvements to our academic curriculum and pedagogy through the work of department heads, academic departments, and with the help of the FOCUS and Foundational Skills faculty committees. In addition, changes to both the AP and IB curricula are reviewed by department heads, including our IB coordinator, and shared with faculty. I n the spring of 2012, all full-time faculty and staff members received a supplement from an endowment fund for faculty staff compensation established from a bequest from Barbara Dodd Anderson ’50. This sum, distributed
equitably, moved starting faculty into the top quartile among independent school total compensation packages. Ultimately, the school plans to pay all full-time faculty at a rate that will put them into the top quartile among independent schools. Diversity Goal Enhance our distinction as an inclusive educational community by challenging ourselves to address difficult questions raised by diversity in all its dimensions. W e have established a workgroup to improve our practices school-wide from the perspective of the diversity of students and families of George School. Last year, the group established an online International Student Information Center that highlights programs designed to help families understand the George School experience. Skype, Facetime, and other technologies have been integrated into our communication with families. D irector of Institutional Advancement Ari Betof ’98, Director of International Admission Jenna Davis ’78, and other school administrators have continued their frequent international travel. Gatherings held during their trips provided a forum for current and prospective international families to raise their questions, concerns, and hopes and for alumni to share their experiences.

Here, Sharon Jiang ’12 and Serina Durand ’13 tested the wind speed.
T o celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., George School organized service opportunities for all students at thirty-two sites throughout Philadelphia, Bucks County, and New Jersey, working with the Philadelphia King Day of Service program. Activities included food preparation, environmental service, administrative duties, clean-ups, sorting clothes, arts and crafts, working with horses, and visiting in retirement communities. Environmental Stewardship Goal Recognize the pressing need for all human beings to live simpler, more sustainable lives by visibly integrating environmental stewardship into the day-to-day activities of students, faculty, and staff, and into our planning for the school. T he integration of environmental sustainability goals into facilities planning is part of the Physical Plant Department’s regular practice. Every decision and purchase is carefully weighed in relation to awareness of the ultimate effect on the environment. T ERRA, the George School chapter of the Sierra Student Coalition that works to educate the greater community about environmental issues, had a successful year. Members installed new rain gardens, maintained the Anderson Library green roof, cleaned-up Newtown Creek, and instituted a number of school-wide best practices to conserve energy during the annual Green Cup Challenge. F ood scraps from meals and food waste from our kitchen are combined daily, sending approximately five hundred pounds of otherwise landfill-bound garbage to the campus compost heap each day. The composting program produces fertilizer for our sustainable organic garden, which
provides vegetables and herbs for school meals. In addition, the farm to school program initiated by Food Service Director Joe Ducati of CulinArt brings fresh produce from area farms to George School’s dining room. Facilities Goal Improve our facilities to provide the best physical tools to advance student learning and to meet the needs of our teachers, while maintaining the pristine beauty of our campus. T he Physical Plant Office worked with the Finance and Investment Committee to study the financial needs and capabilities of updating and enhancing our fitness and athletic facilities, the priority identified by our facilities planning process. C lassrooms and laboratories in the Spruance-Alden Science Center were renovated, the air exchange throughout the building was improved, and new energy-efficient windows installed. Windows in Retford were refurbished and reinsulated and they were rehung with new weather stripping and trim. Two miles of underground sanitary sewer lines were improved. Financial Aid Goal Demonstrate continued leadership in financial aid in the context of a changing economic environment for independent schools. T o ensure George School’s continued distinction in financial aid, additional funds were added to the financial aid budget each of the last three years, and are planned for next year. These efforts are designed to help address family needs in this time of economic turbulence.
T he new Affordability Committee began a rigorous study of current practices and new methods for ensuring that a George School education remains affordable for economically diverse families.
T he 2011 creation of the Institutional Advancement Office that brought together admission, marketing, and fundraising functions has resulted in streamlined global travel and increased visits in our region and across the United States.
Financial Sustainability Goal Create new processes for fundraising and financial planning that will ensure that we can support our strategic objectives for the long-term benefit of George School.
T he Advancement Office along with the Development Advisory Committee worked to broaden and deepen our relationships with George School alumni and friends. A series of four events designed to honor coaches and bring together alumni and friends were held, along with a number of regional events in locations including Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Santa Fe.
T he Finance and Investment Committee, a standing committee of the George School Committee, is vigilant in identifying the operational, capital, and endowment needs that are required to implement our Strategic Plan.

Strengthening Ties Members of the Class of 2007 posed for a reunion photo during Alumni Weekend 2012.
showstopper photography
In 2011-2012 the school connected with prospective and current families, alumni, and other friends of the school to increase awareness of, and support for, all that our school and our amazing students do. Here are just some examples of what we accomplished. Honor Thy Coaches Events Beginning in January 2012, teams of alumni volunteers hosted celebration events for legendary coaches—John Gleeson ’65, Anne LeDuc, Dave Satterthwaite ’65, and Bob Geissinger— as part of a special Honor Thy Coaches program. The coaches were recognized for inspiring decades of George School athletes and for their lessons about teamwork and the importance of working together to achieve a common goal. They were also praised for teaching students to be good sports when they lost and even better sports when they won. The four events were a wonderful opportunity to bring together members of the George School community. More than 600 George School teammates and friends attended the fun events, sharing stories and renewing friendships and connections to George School. The 2012 Honor Thy Coaches program culminated at the dedication of Cougar Track and Cougar Field on Saturday, May 12, 2012 during Alumni Weekend. The new all-weather running track was dedicated in honor of Dave and the synthetic turf field was dedicated in honor of Anne, John, and Geis.
Meetinghouse Bicentennial Celebration The George School Meetinghouse, originally built in 1812 as the Twelfth Street Meetinghouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is both the spiritual center of the school and a symbol of the school community. Its bicentennial anniversary was celebrated throughout 2012 by students, alumni, faculty, families, and friends. Events included a mid-April lecture explaining the importance of the meetinghouse from a historical and spiritual perspective and a mid-May master class and rededication ceremony during Alumni Weekend. The meetinghouse was also the location for the late-April annual meeting of Friends Council on Education, the only national organization of Quaker Schools, which traces its origin to an idea that blossomed at the Twelfth Street Meetinghouse eighty years ago. Alumni Engagement A record number of alumni, current students, and families celebrated the 2012 Alumni Weekend. Festivities started with an all-school assembly and included reunion class activities and alumni student games. Alumni awards were presented to Anne Culp Storch ’67, for her volunteer efforts and commitment to the financial sustainability of several educational institutions and Quaker organizations, and to Ernie Wong ’77, for his internationally acclaimed landscape architecture.

George School graduates, accepted the Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his long career as an educator. Alumni gatherings were held across the country in Boston, Massachusetts; Summit, New Jersey; Philadelphia Pennsylvania; San Francisco, California; and Santa Fe, New Mexico. In addition, approximately 970 alumni were quoted in our two issues of the Georgian magazine, and more than 500 alumni responded to our eQuiz surveys. The Inspiration of Julian Bond On September 9, 2011, George School welcomed civil rights pioneer H. Julian Bond ’57 for an all-school assembly and discussions with students and faculty. Julian was joined on stage by Mark K. Updegrove ’80, director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas, who interviewed Julian about his experiences as a politician and activist. Julian also shared memories of being one of few African-American students at George School. Julian has credited George School with introducing him to the ideals of non-violent social change and individual community service.
Parent-Organized Career Workshops In April, students attended a career workshop of their choice, given by various alumni and parents and organized by a Parents Association committee, clerked by parent Monique Burnett-Smith. Workshops featured speakers from the Class of 2000, including Seth Barmash (digital music executive), Stephanie Bradberry Crosby (educational consultant), Kristin Collier (public relations/marketing professional), John Goodwin-Tech (entrepreneur), Nico Houghton (critical care transport nurse), Jessica Langman Tomaszewski (pediatrician), Elizabeth Ross (Department of Education attorney), and Adriana Verleysen (corporate and securities lawyer). Parent speakers were David Graham (photographer), Dr. Nancy Harrison and Dr. Jeffrey Harrison (psychologists), Brian Hodges (engineer), J.J. Klaver (FBI agent), and Eduardo Gustavo Thuroff (biomedical engineer).

Stronger Global Connections In keeping with George School’s commitment to build lifelong relationships with families throughout the world, Ari Betof ’98, director of institutional advancement, and Jenna Davis ’78, director of international admission, joined current George School families and alumni in Asia. Gatherings took place in eight cities—Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Taipei, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City. Jenna and other school administrators also traveled to eighteen states and the District of Columbia, and to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Greece, St. Maarten, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Bermuda, and the Bahamas. Expanded Website and Social Media Presence Serving to engage prospective students and their families, to provide detailed information, and to paint a picture of campus life, the George School website is the school’s key communication hub. During 2011-2012, we added or updated 1,495 web pages and 5,325 media files. This included more than 200 news stories, or about four stories per week. Unique visitors to our site increased 24.5 percent to 217,160 and visitors lingered longer, averaging 2:49 minutes.
One of the site’s most popular features, Our Week in Pictures, showcased the work of 80 photographers. Their 1,430 photos captured George School in action and helped prospective students and their families learn more about daily life on campus. George School’s digital presence on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube grew this year. Today we have 2,300 Facebook followers, mostly in the 18 to 20 year-old age group but with steady increases among older friends. More than 270 individuals follow us on Twitter, a number that grows daily, having tripled since November 2011.

Endowment Providing Long-Term Financial Strength
A strong endowment is crucial to George School. It generates income which supports our core educational commitments and helps us to maintain our leadership role in areas that are important to our community, such as financial aid, faculty compensation, and environmental sustainability. A healthy endowment also provides the long-term financial stability that enables the school to weather periods of economic turbulence and make investments in our future. The endowment consists of more than 290 discrete funds established over the past 129 years by individual donors, foundations, and reunion classes. Approximately 41 percent of George School’s endowment is restricted to supporting financial aid and scholarships. Another 37 percent has been earmarked by the donors to support academic programs and faculty salaries. The George School Committee’s approach to investing is conservative. The endowment maintains an equity orientation for growth, while reducing volatility through diversification. The endowment is presently invested in 68 percent equities, 15 percent bonds, and 17 percent alternative investments, and it complies with a socially responsible investment policy that is consistent with our community’s values. Investment income from the endowment is second only to tuition revenue as a source of funds to support our educational mission, providing 17.4 percent of the school’s operating budget this year. As of June 30, 2012, George School's endowment was valued at $90.9 million. Our endowment has grown from $56.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and represents a 62 percent increase over this three year period. At the same time, George School's endowment per student has grown from approximately $122,000 per student in 2009 to approximately $173,000 per student in 2012.

Average of Peer Boarding Schools
George School's endowment per student however, remains considerably lower than the average endowment of $279,000 per student at our peer boarding schools. George School’s endowment provides just over $8,700 annually per student for our educational program, below the nearly $14,000 provided by the endowments of our peer schools. In a different comparison, Boarding School Review identified seven boarding schools with per student endowments of more than $600,000 and twenty-three schools with endowments of more than $300,000 per student. George School is in a strong position financially, but your gifts to the endowment will help keep George School in the top tier of independent education—providing students with the spiritual, intellectual, and personal resources to make a difference in the real world.

Giving to George School
Our community is strengthened by the ongoing support of our donors. Even amid challenging economic times, we are inspired by the generous spirit of all those who support George School. Your contributions make the future even brighter for George School. George School tuition covers only 71 percent of the cost of educating students. The other 29 percent is contributed by Annual Fund gifts, income from endowment funds, proceeds from facilities rental, and auxiliary and other income. Annual Fund The Annual Fund surpassed its record-level $1.2 million goal. More than 3,425 alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of the school made contributions to the Annual Fund. This represents a 13.6 percent increase in the number of donors. Annual Fund Participation by Constituency

Fitness and Athletics Capital Initiative Support for our fitness and athletics capital initiative continued to grow this year as word spread about the new Cougar Track and Cougar Field and our plans to build new fitness and athletics facilities for south campus. Four families made leadership gifts of more than $1 million and more than three hundred donors have given or pledged gifts for the initiative. Hundreds of alumni and other community members reached out to honor former coaches Anne LeDuc, Bob Geissinger, John Gleeson ’65, and Dave Satterthwaite ’65, attending Honor Thy Coaches events and making gifts ranging in size from $25 to $250,000. 50th Reunion Giving Five members of the Class of 1962—Al Bradley, Newt Brosius, Bob Passmore, John Robinson, and Walter Teller—responded to the call from classmate Linda Groetzinger to complete the class gift project begun by their friend, Harsh Pittie, who died in January 2012. (See Linda's profile on page 43.) More than 57 percent of the members of the class participated in the fundraising project. “We are proud of and grateful for the work of the 50th Reunion Gift Committee,” said Alumni Director Karen Hallowell. “The way that they worked together exemplified the very best in what George School would hope for in its graduates: commitment, collaboration, creativity, respect,openness, generosity of spirit, and lots of heart.” Planned Gifts Planned gifts continue to play a vital role in maintaining the school’s financial strength. During the 2011-2012 school year, George School was the beneficiary of twenty-four gifts made by will or matured life income gifts, totaling more than $2.7 million. When alumni, parents, and friends of the school make such gifts they ensure the quality of the George School education and experience for future generations of students. We will continue to need, and to seek, philanthropic help for all we do—financial aid for our students, salaries and housing for our faculty, and construction costs for academic, campus life, and fitness and athletics facilities.

Kassem L. Lucas ’90
How did being a student at George School change your life? I came from the Bronx to George School through the Albert G. Oliver Program, which recruits top black and Latino students for independent boarding schools. At George School I found a welcoming community, pleasant environment, challenging academics, and teachers, coaches, and mentors who guided me. Sports were a major influence. I played on one JV Football team and eleven varsity teams (football, basketball, and baseball). Most of my lifelong lessons—about leadership, integrity, teamwork, and dedication—come from my athletic experiences. Having the opportunity to attend George School and play sports opened a lot of doors.
Fitness and Athletics Capital Initiative Donor*
You’ve had other roles since then. Why do you stay connected? After college, I jumped at the opportunity to come back to live in a dorm, teach history, and coach the three sports I had played. George School had given me many opportunities, and I wanted to do the same for other kids. The plan was to teach for a year before law school, but one year became two. Then I ended up going to law school at night and living in Drayton for eleven years, even after I was a lawyer at a large firm. Since 2005 I’ve been on the George School Committee. I love the school and want to see it continue to grow, create good citizens, and do for others what it did for me.
I love the school and want to see it continue to grow, create good citizens, and do for others what it did for me.
Why do you feel contributing to sports facilities is important? George School sports are important for many students and alumni. On the athletic fields there’s camaraderie between people of different backgrounds. It doesn’t matter what race you are or where you’re from. We need to match the type of facilities other schools have today. And the facilities won’t just be for athletes. They’ll be for people who want to stay fit. Our kids deserve it, and it’ll only make George School better.
A graduate of Yale and Temple’s School of Law, Kassem is a partner at Pepper Hamilton LLP, where he is a litigator and also oversees diversity initiatives. He lives in Yardley and serves on the George School Committee and the executive committee of the Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia. * A s a member of the school’s governing board, Kassem understands the importance of raising funds for new fitness and athletic facilities. Students are already benefiting from a new turf field and running track, dedicated to four beloved George School coaches.

I consider that I have a huge debt that can never be repaid.
Why are you grateful to George School? My mother, who was Jewish, brought my two brothers and me from Germany to the United States in the late 1930s. We were penniless immigrants when we got here, but two local Quaker families, the Foulkes of Ambler and the Hallowells of Fort Washington, sponsored us. George School gave us terrific scholarships. A week after I came to this country, I was at George School, all made possible by Quaker generosity. At the urging of another student’s family, I went to Swarthmore College, where I became interested in my eventual career as an arbitrator of labor disputes. I’m a sort of peacemaker, which I think George School had something to do with it. The school made a deep impression. For what George School did for my brothers and me, I am deeply and endlessly grateful. What do you love and remember most about George School? I loved my sports: soccer with Jack Talbot, whom we called Uncle Jack; basketball with Steve Fletcher, a math teacher; and baseball with Joe Shane, dean of boys and someone I had very high regard for. They were great influences on my life. They made me feel successful. I was known to them and liked by them, which is important when you come from a foreign country. They had a lot to do with my feeling comfortable here. After seventy years, why do you continue to give to George School, and why did you establish charitable gift annuities? I think George School is interwoven in me: in the spirit of giving, in being a decent citizen, and marrying someone with the same values. I consider that I have a huge debt that can never be repaid. I’ve given every year, and my wife and I have written a couple of gift annuities. It’s a win-win situation. George School gets money, and we’re guaranteed income during our lifetimes. It had great appeal.
Rolf’s brothers, Fred and Heinz, also attended George School. Rolf went on to Swarthmore College, spent three years in the army during WWII, and was a member of the United States soccer team that went to the London Olympics in 1948. He and wife Nancy have four children. Still working occasionally as an arbitrator, he lives in the same Alexandria, Virginia, retirement community as Heinz and plays bridge regularly.

Gifts from Alumni and Students 37
The generosity of alumni and students bears witness to the care, intellectual challenge, and love they have experienced during their time at George School, and how that has shaped their lives. It is also a mark of their care for current and future generations of George School students. We are very grateful for their support.

John M. George Society Donors who include George School
Linda Ticehurst Pierce ’58 Longtime Annual Fund Committee Member and John M. George Society Member*
I am happy knowing that I can leave something behind in appreciation of George School, even though it can never equal the gift the school gave me.
What is it about George School that you find so special? George School excels at academics. Students learn, and they learn how to learn. But the school does far more. It offers guidance for young people at an important age, helping them to develop their potential and become contributing members of society. George School helps students look at the world differently and fosters a sense of responsibility for others who share this earth. And it instills the knowledge that each of us, in our own way, has the power to make a difference. What did you like about being a member of the Alumni Annual Fund Committee? I wrote numerous email letters and I heard from a number of classmates as a result, and I enjoyed reconnecting with them. I was also happy to connect my classmates back to George School and to help boost participation in the Annual Fund. We were at 30 percent when I started, and we ended at 51 percent. Why have you chosen to remember George School in your estate plans? I believe in George School more and more as the years go by. The changes in our society and our world make the type of education it offers more important than ever. While I do not have the ability to make large donations now, I am happy knowing that I can leave something behind in appreciation of George School, even though it can never equal the gift the school gave me.
Linda taught high school science for 30 years before retiring in 2007. An avid scuba diver with a keen interest in coral reef ecology, Linda spent several years in the Florida Keys before moving to Southern Pines, North Carolina. There she pursued her love of the environment and pottery until her death in August 2012.

Gloria Shuh-Hwa Denoon Annual Fund Donor*
When I became a Quaker, I developed a deep commitment to Quaker education.
How did you come to be involved with the school and the George School Committee? My husband, David, and brother-in-law, Ashby, are graduates, both class of 1962. My late father-in-law, Clarence, was on the George School Committee, and three years ago, when I became a Quaker, I developed a deep commitment to Quaker education. After serving on the Diversity and Advancement Oversight committees, I joined the George School Committee, where my focus has been on the fitness and athletics capital initiative and communication with international parents. What do you think George School does particularly well? The three elements I value most are character building, academic strength, and global integration. I find that the search for the Inner Light leads students to look for interests and talents that motivate them. It’s part of the inquiry model of education in which the teacher steps aside and allows students to pursue their passions, requiring refined critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. I believe that George School has the opportunity to strengthen its position as one of the most outstanding independent schools in the country. Why do you give to George School? George School relies on parent and alumni support to enhance the school’s operations and to initiate new projects or buildings. Besides supporting the Annual Fund and curriculum innovation, my family also supports the fitness and athletics capital initiative because we believe that athletics is an essential part of student development and of the lifelong well-being of George School.
Born in Taiwan, Gloria earned a BA and MA from Soochow University and a PhD from New York University. A member of Wrightstown Monthly Meeting, Gloria resides on a farm near Wycombe, Pennsylvania, with her husband and their 7-year-old son Derek. * G loria Denoon believes that generous gifts to the Annual Fund enable George School to thrive each year and that capital and endowment gifts ensure that the school flourishes long into the future. All gifts help ensure a remarkable education for students.

As the 50th reunion class, we have the opportunity to see the long-term impact of our education on us and through us on the world.
You graduated from George School fifty years ago. How do you feel about it now? As a freshman at George School I was new, intrigued, and interested in practically everything. I was included, accepted, and visible in the community. How unusual and important the individualized attention of the faculty was! They let us know that they knew us...and not superficially. How was the experience of chairing your class’s reunion gift committee? I had not stayed in touch with George School over the years, until Harsh Pittie—a dear friend with an active mind and an interest in cross-cultural contact—encouraged me to attend our 45th reunion. There I discovered how connected I felt to classmates and friends from other classes. Harsh became chair of the 50th reunion gift committee, but his death in January left a void. I picked up the job, though I would have rather had Harsh by my side. Why give to George School, particularly as a 50th reunion class? Personally I think it’s important to give to George School because of the values learned there: a global view, respect for education and lifelong learning, and respect for everyone, including oneself. But as the 50th reunion class, we have the opportunity to see the long-term impact of our education on us and through us on the world. Communities all over the world are benefiting from the skills that alumni picked up at George School. Our class gift provided the chance to make an enduring contribution—to the new fitness center’s atrium lounge and to financial aid.
In between attending Swarthmore and getting a master’s in social work and a doctorate in public health, Linda, along with husband Norman, joined the Peace Corps. Later they helped start a social service agency in the town in India where they had served. When not home in Chicago, they love to travel. * R eunion classes often unite to make a significant and meaningful gift to George School, to the Annual Fund or, for 50th reunion classes like Linda’s, for endowment or capital improvements, whose impact lasts for years.

I am proud to have gone to a place that encourages thinking and innovation.
How did George School affect you? The type of thinking that’s encouraged at George School is a blessing—and incredibly rare. We were taught to look at all sides of a question—the popular and unpopular—before making a decision about what’s right and wrong and what’s the truth. I am proud to have gone to a place that encourages thinking and innovation. Your boyfriend, who didn’t go to George School, wrote a song about it? Yes, he’s an opera singer, and he wrote it out of frustration about me bumping into other graduates, which happens all the time. It has a line like, “When you see a George School person, make sure you don’t have to be anywhere right away.” Even when meeting alumni I didn’t know before, I feel an instant connection. As a young alum, why do you feel it’s important to give? I’m grateful for the nutrients I got at George School. Your intelligence and full personhood are celebrated, and you can pursue your interests. For me, they were dancing, putting on coffeehouses, and reading books. Though I no longer clean the Language Department office, as I did for my co-op (and loved), I believe in doing service where it’s important and helping where you are. I’m not physically at George School, but in some ways I still am and always will be. You have a limited amount of money and a list of priorities for what to do with it. For me, it’s a matter of where the benefits in your life come from. Having gone to an institution that created space for me, I want to do what I can so it can create space for others. I can’t imagine not giving.
Molly majored in urban studies and minored in visual arts at Columbia University. She has worked in community relations and is now a content coordinator for Philly in Focus, which connects organizations to the community they serve. She enjoys yoga and dance and lives in Philadelphia. * The Loyalty Challenge is modeled after the annual George School– Westtown rivalry known as the Patterson Cup or “The Moose.” The challenge is an annual-giving participation competition between recent graduating classes of the two schools. The winning school receives the coveted Machemer Cup for the year.

Julia Um ’12 Student Annual Fund Committee Leader*
I am grateful to the alumni and others who gave so that I could have this life-changing experience. Now that you’re a newly minted graduate, what do you value about George School? Before George School I went to schools where the teachers let us know that they were there because it was a job. The other students picked on me for being smart and different (I was the only Asian student). When I came to George School, everyone was really friendly, including the teachers, who clearly enjoy teaching us. I wasn’t afraid to be who I really am. Sometimes people take these things for granted, but I don’t. Why did you join the Student Annual Fund Committee? I started making calls for the Phonathon freshman year and really liked talking to alumni and increasing awareness of the Annual Fund among students. The Annual Fund provides aid for students like me as well as for sports equipment, theater productions, vans to local places, alumni events—lots of things not covered by tuition. The Annual Fund helps make George School the great place that it is. At the senior dinner, you made a heartfelt appeal to your classmates. Why? When I stood up to speak, I only planned to say, “Please give,” but then I realized how much I loved the George School community. I recognized what I was losing and got emotional. I talked about how much George School changed my life and how the Annual Fund played a part in that. I think a lot of students wonder why they should give when their parents pay tuition, but I told them about being on financial aid, which I hadn’t revealed before. I explained that I am grateful to the alumni and others who gave so that I could have this life-changing experience. A record 56 percent of our class ended up giving.
Levittown, Pennsylvania resident Julia Um is now a freshman at Wellesley College where she plans to pursue biomedical engineering or another science. At George School she took a mix of IB and AP courses to maximize her science study. * The Student Annual Fund Committee shares the story about the importance of annual giving. Julia and her fellow committee members understand that giving whatever you can afford at whatever age you are shows that you value your George School experience.

Gifts from Parents and Grandparents 51
Gifts from parents and grandparents of students and alumni play a special role in the lives of their children and grandchildren. Because tuition covers approximately 71 percent of the cost of educating each student, parents and grandparents help make George School’s unique environment possible through their contributions. We are pleased to recognize their commitment to the school.

Holly Houston P’08, ’10, ’12 Parent Annual Fund Committee Chair*
Our goal was to turn up the volume on the message that the habit of giving, no matter the size, has both economic and spiritual dimensions. Why was getting involved in the Parent Annual Fund Committee important to you? As my daughter’s senior year approached, I had an opportunity to contribute time and energy to George School through the Parent Annual Fund Committee (PAFC). Our goal was to turn up the volume on the message that the habit of giving, no matter the size, has both economic and spiritual dimensions. These are lean times, but it’s important to model the ‘habit of giving’ for our children. What motivates you to give to George School? I have developed an attitude of generosity toward George School because I feel so thankful to the faculty for their generosity to the students. Having witnessed the many ways in which faculty and coaches give their time, their experience, and their love to all of these adolescents, I feel committed to reciprocating. The Annual Fund contributes to faculty development and compensation. Nourishing the faculty is the best investment we can make. Now that your children have graduated, what do you appreciate about the George School experience? George School provides teenagers with a most unusual opportunity. As students, they are expected to actively contribute to the maintenance of the school community. Students also become conversant with adults and fellow students across socioeconomic and cultural lines as they build and enhance the culture that is George School. As a result, George School has been the source of very important friendships for all of us. Continuing to give to and be involved in the community is my way of keeping those relationships alive.

Giving shows that you believe in the school’s mission and are helping to carry it forth.
After John’s first year at George School, what have you come to appreciate about it? We like that George School is academically rigorous but very supportive of the individual. The faculty and staff are attentive, and really get to know each student personally. Most of all we appreciate the sense of belonging. We had looked at other schools where day students weren’t as included. At George School you cannot tell by walking into the dining hall who’s a boarder or day student, whether they come from the United States or abroad, whether they’re math/ science guys, history students, athletes, or artists. Everybody gets along well. There’s a real spirit of community fostered by the faculty, and the students pick up on that. Has anything about George School surprised you? There have been a lot of pleasant surprises. We were amazed at how in-depth yet succinct the report cards are, showing that the teachers really get our son. We were delighted at how easy it was for John to make friends and by how diverse his group of friends is. The depth of connection between faculty and students is striking. One Sunday John was tossing a lacrosse ball with a couple of friends, when his religion teacher joined in and had a very in-depth conversation with them. The kids felt completely at ease. And we were happily surprised at all the opportunities for parents to be involved. The school provides a sense of inclusiveness to entire families. What inspired you to give to Annual Fund? As part of the George School community, we feel it’s important that everyone should contribute what they can, because it helps foster that strong sense of community. It’s not about the size of the gift. Giving shows that you believe in the school’s mission and are helping to carry it forth.
Jerry and Ginny live in Yardley, Pennsylvania, with their two sons. Jerry is an attorney and Ginny is in asset management. They enjoy golf and skiing, and, like many parents, log a lot of time watching their sons’ lacrosse and soccer matches. * Tuition covers approximately 71 percent of the full cost of a George School education. All those who give to the Annual Fund help fill the gap, making the George School that the Arth-Loebel family appreciates available to countless students.

Stephanie McBride
How do you feel about teaching at George School? I’m going into year thirty-two here, and my passion for teaching remains as strong as ever. There is something energizing about being surrounded by colleagues who are committed to excellence, care about helping one another, and value laughter. I have seen the school’s commitment to its core values remain clear and grow stronger over this time.
Community Annual Fund Committee Member*
What do students gain from attending George School? There is the obvious: a top-notch education. But they also come to value community. I sense that a spirit that may even be called holy exists in the deep connections among people here. When I write college recommendations, I ask students to write about what they feel they are taking from their George School experience. Again and again, they talk about having grown in self-awareness, independence, and confidence, but also in their openness to others and the world around them.
Strong support from the faculty— in terms of numbers, not just dollars—shows that working at George School is more than a job.
Why do you contribute to George School? George School is a remarkable place. I’ve taught in other schools and experienced the difference. I love working with students on their writing as they sift through words and phrases to arrive at the language that best articulates what is in their minds. I feel privileged to witness some of those “aha” moments, when a student reasons through an argument, puts the pieces together, and reaches deep for the words to express those ideas.
At George School Stephanie has been an English teacher and department chair, dorm head of Brown House, Community Assistance Team head, former class sponsor, and co-founder of the Peer Group program, spouse (husband Bob is an academic information technology coordinator), and parent (Sarah ’96). * A s a member of the Community Annual Fund Committee, Stephanie encourages other faculty members to give. As she says, “Teachers contribute by working here, but it’s important to demonstrate our commitment to the whole enterprise and community beyond the investment of time and energy. Strong support from the faculty—in terms of numbers, not just dollars—shows that working at George School is more than a job.”
