Glenlyon Norfolk School is the only co-ed independent JK to Grade 12 International Baccalaureate World Continuum school in Victoria, BC. There isn’t a single mould for a GNS student or a predetermined portrait of a graduate. We provide a child-centred learning experience that will help your child learn who they are and support them to be their best.
We help students discover who they are, not just what they want to be. When your child leaves GNS, they will have learned how to be curious, engaged and balanced learners who are ready to take positive risks, make mistakes and follow their own path. They will leave knowing they will forever be supported by the GNS community. They will leave knowing they can make a difference.
