@sevendad and @gardenstategal , thank you for your responses.
Regarding the “political” atmosphere, I don’t have any agenda myself and our family tends to be conservative on economic issues and more liberal on social issues. I am aware that Quakers, at least in the 19th century, were known as astute businesspeople, perhaps because of their testimony of integrity and perhaps because they did not take up government employment. I want to avoid placing my kids in an extreme politicized environment such as happens at some universities – like a social studies teacher praising present-day Venezuela as a model country of social justice, or someone preaching an extreme animal-rights agenda, or leading kids off to picket with a local antifa group. Does George School avoid this kind of stuff?
But beyond that, can you GS parents tell me about weekends for boarding students? I’m not very familiar with boarding school and in fact am only considering it due to a particular family circumstance. Do they have organized activities to do – or do kids head off to the house of whichever day student’s parents are away that weekend? What kind of adult supervision or oversight is available in the dorms?
