Glenelg Country School

This school has been claimed by the school or a school representative.

No matter when they start their journey at Glenelg Country School, students discover an abiding sense of self, a deep appreciation for community, and a shared understanding of purpose. When GCS graduates go out into the world, they take these qualities with them. They’re prepared to engage in life as they engaged at school.

GCS teachers and administrators know their students well with a 7:1 student-teacher ratio. They create a tight-knit, supportive community united in a commitment to acting with respect and compassion, elevating every voice and differentiating classroom learning, so students realize their own learning style.

Our instructional approach starts with the most effective characteristics of independent schools and intentionally designed programs to distinguish each student’s experience and establish enduring community ties. GCS fosters shared values and an educational philosophy that focuses on academic, social/emotional, and physical growth individually and together.
