Background
editThe 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]
