Student Profile

Glenburnie welcomes students who are able to function at the average, to high average, to the gifted range of academic abilities, and who are willing to become partners in their education to achieve at consistent and/or higher levels in their studies.

Our students appreciate opportunities to make their own choices, and thrive on discovering new talents and expanding their skills through the wide range of creative opportunities such as ‘the Arts’, technology, and intramural and varsity sports.  Our students feel comfortable risk-taking in the application of new concepts and skills to real-life situations in this supportive learning environment.

Many students at Glenburnie are regularly achieving well above traditional grade level expectations, which are confirmed through yearly standardized testing.  Our objective is for students to be confident and capable individuals who will develop high proficiency with the 21st Century skills integrated throughout the curriculum.

Students with strong visual and tactile learning styles thrive in this enriched learning environment, which accommodates students working at individual levels of achievement.  This faster paced learning centre is based on individual student responsibility; therefore, it is not suitable for students with learning disabilities or behavioural issues.

Glenburnie Graduates stand out among their peers for their broad-based knowledge, their strong interpersonal skills, and for their sensitivity to the needs of others.

Students joining Glenburnie School may find it beneficial to join our Academic Summer Camp, and extend their basic skills in Language and Mathematics as well as get to know our teachers and students prior to the start of the new school year.
