How do we define success for Glenbow students?

At Glenbow School, students learn in an environment that fosters creativity, innovation and wonder as well as the acquisition of foundational skills (literacy and numeracy). Through collaboration between students, parents and staff, an environment is created that supports and honours their unique and diverse learning journeys. By encouraging this atmosphere, students are passionate and creative problem solvers, demonstrating competence in an ever-changing world. They are successful when their aspirations reflect sound values, when they can problem solve in an ethical manner and when they combine self-discipline with a passion for learning. Being immersed in a culture which models environmental stewardship and global awareness, students are empowered to be global citizens with all the accompanying rights and responsibilities.
