Our daughter just finished her first year at Glenwood and we could not be more pleased. It has been a wonderful school! I am a teacher and have taught in several districts and have never seen such organization in a school. One reviewer mentioned class size but failed to add that each teacher has a

Child attended two years, in self-contained program called Tier One, now LEAP. Excellent experience with good teacher. Only drawback is that the curriculum was project-based, rather than content/fact based, which means kids may not get a good grounding in general info. Instead of studying states or

After 3 1/2 years of afterschool we pulled our daughter out of the program as the 'teachers' were too much on the rough side and the kids were generally herded around like cattle and yelled at a lot. Fun end of year talent show but I'm glad we're not at Glenwood this year. Read less
