An Independent Choice
Imagining an ideal school experience.
As an independent school, Glenelg Country School makes some assumptions about how to deliver an education for children age 2 through Grade 12. But our intentionally designed program and learning environment use those assumptions as a place to start. In this way, students thrive in unimagined and profound ways.
