With only ten (or fewer) students in a class we are better able to differentiate instruction to maximize each child's growth.Our commitment to diversity is consistent with our focus on serving students with diverse learning styles. Our schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, socio-economic status or ethnic origin. Glenwood Academy reserves space in each classroom for children of families in great need. Full and partial scholarships are awarded every year.

Page 3 Glenwood Country School & Glenwood Academy Succeed With Ten Students Per Classroom.Parents in Maryland have an affordable private school options as both campuses for Glenwood Country celebrate their 25th anniversary. Glenwood Country School has proudly been serving pre-school through middle school students for twenty-five years. As a way to commemorate the schools twenty-fifth anniversary, Glenwood Country School (GCS) is offering parents a chance to enroll their child (ages two to thirteen) in one of the most learning enriched environments within the U.S.GCS, which has two campuses, is dedicated to maintaining a pristine level of education. No more than ten students are allowed per classroom and the school offers on-site speech and occupational therapists as just one of many competitive advantages. GCS is a researched based institution affording each student personalized attention and individualized learning plans. In addition, the school has the capability to patiently work with children who possess learning differences. GCS was birthed by Cheryl Stradling. Stradlings experience as a mother and teaching specialist provided her with the necessary tools needed to start up and sustain an education brand with stellar results. As other expensive private schools failed, GCS exceeded expectations within the education community. I started Glenwood because children have to have a chance to exceed. Oversized classrooms and a one-size fits all, cookie cutter mindset doesnt help students succeed. Stradling said. I wanted to provide an educational haven where students could be provided with the individual tools needed to flourish within their student careers. Twenty-five years later Glenwood is still going strong and I am looking forward to offering many more years of affordable, quality education.Glenwood Country Schools limited enrollment will run on a first-come, first-serve basis. Pre-K students will obtain many progressive elements while at GCS, such as the Orton-Gillingham reading technique. Elementary students will also benefit from GCS assistive technology efforts. Lastly, middle-school students will benefit by being part of a community through talent and volunteer programs, which empowers both their education and character building blocks. Glenwood Country School embraces the Character Counts Program while working alongside Marylands Voluntary State Curriculum. Both campuses are also allergy-aware environments. Parents of children with a multitude of environmental and food allergies praise GCS for their attentiveness to each students dietary needs. Public and Media tours for Glenwood Country School are available upon request. Glenwood Country School is represented to the media by JumpStart Ink. The schools brand joins JumpStart Inks roster of Emmy Award & Grammy Nominee clientele.
