FAQ
What makes Glarea special?
We are a small school with small class sizes. We offer a challenge-based approach to education and integrate physical movement and training alongside academics and arts education to promote creativity, imagination and inspire our students through character building, mentorship and a love for challenges and problem-solving.
Who is the school a great fit for?
Our families are those who strongly believe in fostering independence in their children, understanding that through defeat and difficulty children learn to persevere. Our potential families are those who encourage their children not to shy away from hard work, or risk a fall. They understand that only through the practice of problem-solving and rigor can children build the confidence necessary for success.
Our families believe that to be a successful and happy individual their child needs to experience academic, artistic and expressive success and build a love for their own physical and emotional well-being through activity. Our families are those who want to help foster a sense of purpose in their child’s everyday life, and most importantly, our families recognize and want to foster their child’s individuality.

How can I prepare my child for assessment?
We understand this can be a stressful time for your family, but if you have time the week before the assessment drive by the school, pull into the parking lot with your child and discuss with them how you might be considering this school for them. Alternatively, you can also show them a brochure of the school, it will help your child feel much more comfortable if they have visited or seen the school before the assessment.
We would also suggest getting to bed on schedule the night before, having a healthy meal and starting the day off with a positive conversation, and maybe even make plans for after the assessment for your child to look forward to.
The assessment is only part of the enrollment process.
