Faculty and Staff

Our faculty and staff are central components of our Glenview New Church School community.

Our small class sizes and the teacher-to-student ratio of 7:1 facilitates our instructors’ abilities to provide significantly more attention to each student than traditional public schools. This individualized approach allows our educators to know each child better, enabling them to cater to our student’s needs and foster their strengths.

After extensive vetting, all of our teachers and staff are carefully selected to ensure our morals and values are well-aligned. Each staff member is well-educated, and most of our teachers have earned Masters degrees in relevant subjects from respected universities.

We are immensely proud to have each member of our staff working at the Glenview New Church School as we feel confident in their ability to guide our young scholars on their pathway to success.
