Background

The school was founded in 1947 by the Fathers of the Order of Saint Basil the Great. ^[1]

The school was historically heavily Ukrainian American, with 900 being the peak enrollment of students of Ukrainian origin.^[2]

In 2022 its enrollment was 80,^[2] with 37% of that figure being of Ukrainian ancestry. The school community became concerned after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine due to its ties to Ukraine.^[3] By March 2022, three refugees from the war became students at St. George Academy.^[2]
