Education Philosophy
Nurturing every girl’s character and creating a pathway for academic excellence underpins our approach to educating and empowering young women.
The Glennie School’s educational philosophy recognises every student’s developmental needs are best met within a supportive and inclusive community, where she can find a sense of belonging and opportunities to thrive.
Our holistic approach to education allows every student to elevate her cognitive, physical, spiritual, social, and emotional capabilities.
The School’s education philosophy helps ensure Glennie girls are:
Aspirational
Students strive to reach their personal and spiritual best, so they can achieve great things in life, serve others, and make a difference in the world around them.
Authentic
Students are honest and upfront in their opinions. They have strong personal integrity, are consistent and true to themselves.
Confident
Students are self-assured about their future. They are independent, self-sufficient, and well equipped with the skills needed to thrive in life.
Courageous
Students have the courage of their own conviction. They ask hard questions and advocate and act bravely in the face of adversity. They make decisions without fear and have the skills needed to face disappointment and challenges with grace and fortitude.
Empathetic
Students listen, care deeply, and have compassion for others. They are aware of, understand, and are sensitive to others’ feelings and thoughts. They connect with people from all walks of life and seek to help those in need.
Optimistic
Students are hopeful and positive about their future and believe in and understand their unique capabilities. They are buoyed by their strong Christian faith.
Servant Leadership
Students have an inherent desire to serve others, to create a more just and caring world and to give back to their communities for a greater, common good
Our holistic approach to education allows every student to elevate her cognitive, physical, spiritual, social, and emotional capabilities.
