Our School

Our Beliefs

Students define us. We must inspire them. We work together in a cohesive environment to build a foundation for learning. Working together supports optimal learning. It promotes new ideas, new processes and new ways of doing, all of which we embrace. We are not bound by individual talents but support and learn from each other. We challenge ourselves to constantly seek to understand and to know.

We celebrate school and community because we value people. All that we do is built on the needs of the student. Learnings and beliefs about the students determine how we teach. We address diverse learners through their journeys by developing inquiring minds and providing the nurturing they need along the way.

Through global awareness we feel the connectedness within and to the world, thus bringing citizenship to a deeper level of understanding. We ask good questions and develop authentic, real world learning.

We show that we care.

Mission

Educating Tomorrow’s Citizens Today

Vision

Our Learning Community engages in active learning today to continually build tomorrows of opportunity.

Motto

Dream, Learn, Act

Values

We build a strong community based on respect of the individual. A strong academic program is provided based on individual strengths and needs. Learning how to learn will result in lifelong learners. Learning is enhanced through strong positive relationships. “Students come first” is an action, not a phrase.

Personal Development

The staff at Glenbrook School believe that extracurricular activities promote a platform for personal development. Students have many opportunities to participate in a wide range of club opportunities.

​​Our School's Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation

We are committed to acknowledging and supporting the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action specific to education. Our school, along with all CBE schools, made a TRC Commitment to Action. On June 21, we renewed our commitment, which can be found under Resources.​​

Acknowledging the Land

We would like to acknowledg​​e the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.​

​​​School Development Plan

​Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.​​​

​​​​School Improvement Results Report

Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school. You can look on the CBE website for system-wide results​.
