A Top-Rated Private College Preparatory School in Howard County.

 

 

 

Rigorous Academics, Caring Faculty, Stunning Campus

 

Our beautiful, 90-acre campus in Ellicott City plays an important role in a Glenelg education. Encompassing woods, open-meadow wetland, and both historic and state-of-the-art facilities, students at Glenelg experience an education like no other in Howard County.

 

As a college preparatory school, our mission is to engage our students in learning opportunities that shape their minds for higher education.

 

A rigorous, stimulating curriculum built around a variety of courses in the humanities and STEAM keeps students motivated as they work toward their collegiate goals, while athletics, theatre, community service, and other extracurricular activities foster personal growth and development.

Academic excellence, driven by experiential learning and an integrative approach to education.

 

As an independent college preparatory school, Glenelg Country School has the freedom to develop curricula that provides well-rounded experiences to our students. This gives us the ability to educate the whole child, encouraging intellectual curiosity, compassion for others, and a strong ethical core.

 

We are proud of the diverse nature of our school, composed of children from a variety of backgrounds and accentuated by international students from around the globe. This fosters a natural world view to their education and interaction with their peers, helping to break down barriers and open minds.

 

Our students learn foreign languages, study planets in the observatory, excel on the fields of sport, perform at least 95 hours of community service, and entertain on the stage. Self-expression is always encouraged, and students gain confidence by seeing the rewards of just being themselves.

 

It is no surprise to us that 100 percent of our kids go off to college. This is a natural extension of a child raised by a community, who is taught to believe in their abilities, has strong intellectual discipline, and strives for academic distinction.
