Careers

Glenlyon Norfolk School (GNS) is an independent JK to Grade 12 day school that is supported by a caring and thriving community.
As a proud International Baccalaureate (IB) World Continuum School, and a member of the Round Square, we offer our students an internationally recognized 'gold standard’ of education. This whole-child approach creates global thinkers who are committed, creative and compassionate leaders and stewards of the world. We are committed to helping each student become their best self—whoever that may be—by encouraging them to explore, challenging them, and celebrating their differences.
The foundation of GNS lies in our Core Values: Truth, Courage, Caring, Community and Individuality. These principles guide each member of the “GNS Family,” as we ensure the school remains an exceptional place for students, parents, families, alumni, faculty and staff. Working with GNS means joining a community that fosters a collaborative, caring, innovative and inclusive culture where learning and professional development are life-long passions.
We are looking for like-minded individuals to join our team who will share in our passion for preparing outstanding citizens of character who will contribute to the world through their leadership, a commitment to service, and an understanding that we are all responsible for the future of our communities.

  • – Amanda Chaval, Choral Director

    I had heard that the GNS community had a very strong sense of community and values, and that was something I really wanted to be a part of. When I first met the GNS team I just found they were really friendly, and I felt very welcomed.

  • – Peter Richmond, Physical Health Education

    Before coming to the school, my interactions with GNS were through substitute teaching, and competing against, via coaching. I felt a strong sense of community at both campuses, and I met dedicated, enthusiastic teachers that genuinely cared for the kids. GNS has a very positive energy about it!

  • – Sarah Riddell, Language & Literature

    I really wanted to find a school that felt like a second home—a place where everyone works together to do our absolute best for the kids. GNS has that feeling for me. My colleagues are incredibly supportive, collaborative and, honestly, really fun to spend time with. The school has a constant ‘buzz’ of positive energy, and I see every day that the students genuinely feel connected and happy being here. It’s a pretty fantastic place to be part of.
