What Academics should be

Relational

Boys excel when there is a connection between them and their teacher. When a boy feels known, appreciated, and trusted by their teacher their engagement in the learning process increases and they become more motivated to pursue ongoing learning opportunities. At Glenwood, our staff intentionally seek to build relationships with our boys.

Experiential & Active

For boys to find lasting meaning in learning, they need to be active participants. Experiential learning helps them retain information by doing. Glenwood engages boys with interactive lessons and outdoor activities, understanding they need movement and interaction. Our experts in boys’ education ensure that boys don't sit for extended periods and encourage them to take ownership of their studies, promoting active learning.

Purposeful & Lifelong

Boys are encouraged to find their passion and to pursue them. Our aim is for our boys to be curious and develop a lifelong passion for learning. At Glenwood want our boys to be driven by curiosity, looking for and exploring ways to grow and contribute meaningfully to their world.
