Teaching Faculty

Glenfir's teaching faculty are specialists who create an inspiring and imaginative learning environment for their students. All students, from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, benefit from the instruction by specialist teachers. Beginning in grade four all subjects are taught by individual specialist teachers. Students also enjoy the social size of combined-grade homerooms, and flourish academically in their smaller, grade-specific classes.

The teaching faculty strive to understand the uniqueness of each student to become true partners in their own learning, both within and outside the classroom. By coaching or mentoring students in co-curricular activities, teachers acquire an enhanced understanding of their students. Bonds of trust and caring arise between students and their teachers, allowing teachers to act in a supportive role.

Faculty members also recognize the importance of a strong partnership between home and school. Teachers promptly share concerns and successes with parents through a number of channels including: personal learning plan (PLP) interviews, written notes in the students' agendas, interim report cards, term report cards, parent-teacher conferences, e-mail, and calls. The Glenfir School invites parents to communicate information affecting their child's learning, or other matters of concern, directly to the appropriate teacher.
