About us
Glenwood House is an English-medium school which is proudly South African and endeavours to instil a sense of pride and discipline, characteristic of the upper echelon of private schools in the country. The school encourages the development of core skills such as independent, collaborative, critical and creative thinking and reasoning which are critical to achieving success in a modern and complex 21st Century. We strive to provide a challenging environment designed to positively motivate and stimulate our pupils to achieve their maximum potential.
This is aptly described in our motto "IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE" which equates to being the best that one possibly can be. It is about setting one's own personal goals and striving to achieve and improve them. Our classes contain a maximum of 26 children. All learning happens within a framework of respect, freedom (within acceptable boundaries) and a morally acceptable value system. Glenwood House subscribes to the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) which is the assessment vehicle of choice for most of the reputable private schools in South Africa.
