Experiential learning from toddler to adult.
Glenelg Country School instills a lifelong love for learning. We shepherd your child through every stage of development, from our earliest Little Dragons all the way to our Alumni. Relationships at GCS never end, and once you arrive, GCS quickly feels like a second home. Students are challenged yet cared for by teachers who are experts in their field and know each and every one of their names.
A Reggio-inspired start for ages 2 through kindergarten: small classes, American Sign Language, and daily learning outdoors.
In Grades 1–5, students build the study skills that carry them through GCS. Classes average 12 to 15.
Grades 6–8 mean Expeditions, the STEAM Fair, the Barlow Public Speaking Contest, and a faculty advisor who meets one-on-one with your child.
The Scholars Program with its faculty portfolio defense, AP courses across every discipline, and the values that inform a lifetime of decisions. Grades 9–12.
Two full-time counselors match students to the right colleges. 95% of graduates go on to four-year schools.
Our course catalog details the courses offered at Glenelg Country School, including business and economics, computer science, drama, engineering, humanities, mathematics, music, physical education and health, science, visual arts, and world and classical languages.
Students can pursue their interests in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in our comprehensive STEAM program.
