The GS Student Portal is your entry into academic life at George School. Here, you’ll access Canvas daily to keep track of and submit assignments and stay connected to your teachers and classmates.

Ready? Here are your first two assignments, to be completed by May 16, 2025:

• Canvas introductory training. 
  • Before you start, you’ll need:
    
    • A laptop or desktop computer
    • Internet connection
    • Smartphone or other device with a microphone and camera
    • Printer. Please note: If you do not have access to a printer, please contact registrar@georgeschool.org. 

• • Click on “Canvas LMS” in the menu on the left side of your screen. Your Canvas login credentials are the same as your portal login credentials, but you should enter your username in the format YourUsername@georgeschool.org
  • Complete the “Introduction to Canvas” activity.

• Select your courses with your parent or guardian.
  • Ninth graders: Work with your parent or guardian to complete your course selection through the GS Parent Portal.
  • Tenth and Eleventh graders: Complete grade-specific course surveys (available through the Course Selection page on the GS Parent Portal), and then work directly with the School Office to finalize course selection.
  • A full list of Athletics Department Offerings for 2025-26 can be found here.

What’s next? 

Subject-specific assessments. Once these two items have been completed, you will be notified to log in to Canvas to complete any required subject-specific skills assessments. The assessments required are tailored specifically to you and the courses you have selected. They will not be graded, but will help us determine the appropriate course placements for you. Course placements for students who submit skills assessments and course selections by the end of May will be available on the GS Parent Portal by mid-July.

Summer assignments. Every student will have a summer assignment for English. All summer assignments will appear on Canvas once course selections are processed and skills assessments are reviewed. For most ninth graders, English is the only summer assignment. Incoming 10th, 11th, and 12th graders may have additional summer assignments for IB and AP classes.

George School email accounts. Email accounts will be assigned to new students by early August. You will be instructed to download and install Microsoft Office (at no charge). Once your George School email account is activated, you will be instructed to complete a Technology Orientation on Canvas.

If you have any questions please contact Val Fusco at registrar@georgeschool.org.
