Unlock the gateway to boundless creativity and future resilience through our acclaimed STEM education at Georgia School. Acknowledged as a pivotal force in nurturing scientific ingenuity, STEM education seamlessly integrates the fundamental concepts, practices, and applications of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into students’ learning experiences.This week marks the commencement of the eagerly anticipated STEM Fair at Georgia School, where our students actively explore the realms of science, technology, engineering, and math as an integral part of our state-of-the-art curriculum. Through immersive everyday studies, students delve into these disciplines, paving the way for a comprehensive understanding. Their newfound knowledge is then put into action as they engage in a spectrum of experiments, activities, and contests, transforming theoretical learning into practical expertise. Join us on this transformative journey, where education meets innovation, and students prepare for the challenges of the future with confidence and proficiency.
Georgia's STEM Fair not only displays innovative thinking and entertaining projects, but it also assesses student learning outcomes. Students in high school were required to present their findings in small groups. Teachers served as event judges by listening, asking questions, and taking notes. However, the children were already familiar enough with their chosen subjects to answer the judges' challenging questions.
Georgia School’s annual "Week Without Walls" (WWW) educational excursion took place from Nov 19-24, 2023!Each year at GSN, students engage in outdoor activities, team-building exercises, cultural exploration, and service learning guided by our dedicated teachers.

-- Talia Xia,
Class Salutatorian of 2023
Thank you, GSN, for nurturing me throughout the years. In high school, your score is merely one indication of your hard work; it does not define everything about you. Nowadays, the division of labor is becoming increasingly specialized, and no one can excel at everything. The key to approaching success lies in persistently developing your personal qualities and focusing on your strengths. Tomorrow is a new day regardless of the circumstances, but success favors those who are well-prepared.
-- Bob Yang,
Class Valedictorian of 2023
Dear graduates, as you bid farewell to the halls that have shaped your formative years, carry the Lion spirit of Georgia School with you. Remember the friendships forged, the knowledge gained, and the experiences shared. Let these memories be a guiding light, illuminating your path towards a future filled with purpose, impact, and above all, boundless success. Congratulations, Class of 2023. May your journey be filled with endless possibilities, and may you forever remain proud ambassadors of the values we hold here. Go forward and make your mark on the world!
-- Mr. Cavon, Head of School
The end of another school term is always the reason for celebration and recognition. Georgia School nurtures excellent students that stand out both academically and in terms of their personal character. As an American accredited school, GSN follows rigorous award certifications which are the result of the school’s quality of teaching, student commitment, and growing academic excellence.
The event was hosted by Mr. Noah, GSN's guidance counselor.

During the event, the students from GSN high school's Honor Program also gave the presentation to the entire school, sharing the social issues they had learned about through independent research. The students participating in the Honors Program, must maintain a high GPA, complete an annual research project, participate in a specified number of AP courses, achieve top marks on standardized tests and maintain excellent standing with the school.

The Mandarin department of Georgia School celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival. Students participated in the fun games and learned the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.
As the students gathered inside, they were organized in different groups. Each group stood in a paper dragon boat and they had to move forward walking on the shiatsu sheet, to the other end of the room. Students had a blast with this healthy competition!The second game is "Phrase Contest". After learning the history and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, students strapped with key words. The Chinese teacher described a word, and the students found the answer by grabbing the paper pieces on others. Learning can be also fun if we change the regular class into a fun activity!Students enjoyed a ring toss game. Inside some goodie bags were ‘reduce homework’ passes, candy, and others. Everyone took multiple turns, but only a few lucky contestants will be excused from their homework the rest of the semester！
GSN Mandarin classes celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival with cultural and enjoyable activities. With excitement and happiness from students, it concluded. The festival serves not just as a national holiday, but also a platform to demonstrate Chinese tradition and cultural heritage; moreover, it brings harmony to the Georgia family.

The results of careful Sports Day planning, are evident in the excited, smiling, faces of our students and in the lasting impression on their character. Congratulations to each participant, you all did an excellent job! Go Lions!
The name “Week Without Walls” reflects on the belief that education and learning processes should not be limited to the classroom environment. The real-world connection and hands-on experience are proven methods of better learning. GSN’ s Week Without Walls program is an exciting educational excursion taken each year. During this educational outing, students participate in service learning, team building, cultural exploration and outdoor activities with peers and teachers.
GSN partners with an international travel agency that provides multiple chaperones, trained in First Aid safety procedures, to accompany students through all activities. This year, the destination is Inner Mongolia. GSN’s secondary students had an in-depth understanding of the local culture, participated in tree planting and other public welfare activities, learned practical skills such as tent building, and communicated with teachers and students of Inner Mongolia schools.
During the Week Without Walls 2023, students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 also participated in a variety of activities in and out of school.

Once Pre-K 3 and 4 moms stepped into the administration building, they received a big surprise: students' pre-recorded Mother's Day video! It conveys the deep love and blessing to their mothers. Students from each class also presented great performance to deliver the best wishes "Happy Mother's Day"!
The theme of Mother's Day is Catch this Moment. Each student takes a picture of his/her mother to record this unforgettable moment. Although the photos mothers received might be not that professional, but in their minds they were better than those taken by professional photographers!
In the afternoon, the kindergarten class also held a Mother's Day celebration. The children thanked their mothers with Chinese and English songs, handmade flowers, videos, and a variety of events. Impressively, the teacher prepared scratch-off cards, in which the children would do something for their mothers, such as helping clear the table, drawing a picture for his/her mother or giving her a kiss. Moms said, "We had a wonderful day."
