As a student at Glendale Prep, I feel obliged to provide a review on my experience. Glendale Prep not only prepares their students for life as an adult, but the rigorous curriculum builds necessary skills such as problem solving, reading, and formal writing while enforcing a study of the liberal arts that expands your mind to the endless possibilities of philosophy, art, music, and drama. Every students is required to take college-level classes, including a two-period long class called Humane Letters where students dive into classics and seminar on different topics in the book that can be applied to real-life situations. The curriculum also includes the college-level courses that cover the large spectrum of sciences and maths, while also providing in-depth history classes. Middle schoolers are required to take Latin, and high schoolers are given the option between Spanish, French, and Latin/Greek as their language of choice. The community built by the teachers, staff, and students is encouraging and makes everyone feel like they belong to one big family, and, although uniforms are required, individuality is encouraged through the study of art, drama, and music, through numerous extra curricular clubs, and through numerous high-level competing sports teams for both guys and girls.
Overall, I feel lucky to have the opportunity of studying at GP. I m prepared for my life as an adult and don t regret a second of my time spent here. Glendale Prep is amazing, and I strongly encourage families to put their students in this school.
