Welcome to Glenlyon Norfolk School, where your child's potential meets endless possibility.
A GNS education is intended, and designed, to open the universe of possibilities to every student and to ignite their passion for their own unique futures. At GNS, your child will be empowered to discover who they are, not just what they want to be.

At GNS, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all education. While other schools talk about personalized learning, we live it through the International Baccalaureate framework—where every student becomes a curious investigator, critical thinker and confident changemaker.
Here, your child won’t just memorize facts—they’ll question everything, explore their passions and take action on causes that matter to them. Our IB-trained educators don’t just teach subjects; they ignite minds and nurture the leaders, innovators and problem-solvers the world needs.

Our values of truth, courage, caring, community and individuality promote a supportive and inclusive environment where your child will feel safe, valued and known.
Collaboration between the school and our families creates the best environment for student growth, and the relationships forged between students and teachers who know them and care about them as individuals set us apart and make our great school truly exceptional.
The world your child will inherit doesn’t exist yet—and neither do many of the careers they’ll pursue. That’s why we don’t just prepare students for tests; we prepare them to invent solutions to problems we haven’t even imagined.
At GNS, your child won’t memorize facts they can Google in seconds. Instead, they’ll master the art of asking the right questions, collaborating across cultures, and turning wild ideas into world-changing innovations.

As an International Baccalaureate school with membership in the Round Square, our staff strive to broaden our students’ world views, both inside and outside of the classroom, to impart to each student that we all have a role to play in the maintenance and growth of our communities.
Being part of the GNS community will prepare your child to recognize how their actions can positively affect the world around them, helping them become capable global citizens.
