Glenbrook Academy of International Studies
The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies is a four year program with students from Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South High Schools. 30 freshmen are selected each year through an application process. Founded in 1981 to give students a more global perspective, it covers English, Social Studies, and a foreign language. Each class learns a different foreign language from a rotation of four: Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese. The application process involves written recommendations, a mailed essay, an impromptu essay, and an interview with faculty.

“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
