At Glen Urquhart School (GUS), faculty and staff are thoughtful collaborators, creative problem-solvers, and lifelong learners who care deeply about children—and about one another. Great teachers and staff are the cornerstone of a great school. Their work supports the education of each child. For nearly 50 years, GUS classrooms have been filled with teachers committed to building intellectual skills, instilling strong values, and inspiring a love of learning.

The professional culture at GUS is maintained through ongoing supervision and evaluation and a professional development program that encourages faculty to grow personally and professionally—through mentoring of new hires, visits to colleagues’ classrooms, workshops, conferences, training, and on-site lectures. A number of our faculty regularly publish articles and present at conferences, including the NAIS Conference and People of Color Conference.
