June Message from Head of School
As another school year comes to a close, I find myself holding onto so many moments from these final weeks — the laughter and energy of Field Day, the creativity on display at Performing Arts Night, the joy of School of Rock, the courage of our eighth graders at Evening with the Graduates, and the bittersweet loveliness of Graduation. These are the moments that remind me, again and again, what makes Glen Urquhart School such a special place.

April Message from Head of School
At Glen Urquhart School, we often talk about preparing students for a future we cannot yet fully see. That work asks us to hold two things at once: a deep commitment to who we are, and a willingness to grow into what our students will need next. Our Long Range Plan, GUS 2033, launched in the spring of 2024, is a roadmap designed to ensure we do just that. Now, two years into that plan, you may begin to notice signs of this work taking shape.
