Campus Tours

A magical waterfront setting in Oak Bay is home to our Junior School. Young students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 5 learn at a school where the beach is their playground and sometimes even their classroom. The grounds include the original home of architect Francis Rattenbury. At the centre of the campus, this gracious, historical landmark currently hosts the French classroom, Learning Strategies, Admissions, After School Care and some offices. On September 9, 2020, Junior School students and their parents had the opportunity to enter their new Main Building. This 28,000 square foot building includes large classrooms, a new gym and art room, an expansive Learning Commons, Innovation Lab and a central assembly area. The grounds have also been completely redesigned and include multiple play areas, an all-weather turf field and two outdoor amphitheatres.

Nestled in the six acres of the Pemberton Woods Campus are the Glenlyon Norfolk Middle (Grades 6–8) and Senior (Grades 9–12) Schools. Buildings are connected by pathways that lead through small gardens, giving the campus a peaceful, university-like feeling. Facilities on-site range from a 340-seat performing arts hall to art, music and band rooms; turf field; gymnasium; fitness centre; libraries; classrooms; and labs for science and information technology. Though separate, the Middle and Senior Schools share some facilities and programs, combining the advantages of age-appropriate approaches with an overall sense of community.
