Today's children must be well prepared to meet the challenges of our fast paced, and rapidly changing world. Glenburnie School is recognized as a leader in progressive and innovative education, meeting the academic, social, and individual needs of today's students, at an exceptional level of success. It is critical that our children be empowered, confident, and comfortable with the 21st Century skills which include leadership, effective oral and written communication skills, critical thinking, and personal and global awareness. Our well-trained, passionate educators provide an exceptional academic education, combined with a strong arts program of instrumental music, visual arts, drama, and competitive sports training. At Glenburnie, we actively integrate current brain-based applications from quantum physics and the neuroscience research, to provide optimal physical and educational learning environments. Studies in economics, emotional intelligence, analytical thinking, and gifted education begin in Junior and Senior Kindergarten, and are integrated throughout our studies. We celebrate the achievements of our students, as partners in their own education, who find the learning challenges at Glenburnie to be intellectually stimulating, fun, and personally rewarding. Students are encouraged to achieve at their maximum potential in an environment where personal initiative and responsibility are highly valued. We provide a well rounded education, which includes activities that nurture creativity, character development, and support risk-taking. Glenburnie graduates are welcomed and excel at any high school of their choice, locally, nationally, and internationally. At the university level, our graduates traditionally choose to pursue degrees in business, law, medicine, science and technology, while others excel in career training in the arts and entrepreneurial endeavours. We welcome students with active and inquisitive minds. We welcome students who need to be engaged in their learning and who are capable of so much more! We welcome parents who are seeking more than a traditional education for their children. The excitement, energy, and high sense of community are apparent the minute one enters through Glenburnie's front doors. The Glenburnie School experience provides an effective foundation of academic, organizational, and interpersonal skills to ensure that our students are well prepared to successfully meet the personal and workplace challenges and opportunities they will face in the future.

It's a lifelong journey with friends Continued d from f page 19 Lightbourn School and Wildwood Academy. All OIS schools are registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education. In addition there are various inspection and accreditation bodies that schools may be members of or affiliated with. They share a commitment to serve their community by providing an innovative educational environment that inspires excellence and nurtures the joy of learning in children. Oakville offers extensive educational choices as we have one of the largest groups of independent private schools in Canada. Each OIS school has a distinct educational approach and mission, as well as their own admission procedures and schedules. We encourage you to contact your school(s) of choice directly for the appropriate information. Making an educational choice for your child is an important decision, which is why finding the right fit is part of the process. Just as every child is unique, so is every school. The best way to learn about each school is to attend an open house. This is a great way to get a feel for the school, meet administrators, teachers, students and other parents. We encourage you to join us during our Fall joint open house on Saturday, October 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to see first-hand the education possibilities for your child.
