Glenlyon Norfolk School (GNS) is an independent, co-ed, university preparatory school in Victoria, British Columbia. It was formed in 1986 with the amalgamation of Glenlyon School and Norfolk House. The school offers instruction from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, and teaches according to the traditional BC curriculum. The school also offers the International Baccalaureate at all three levels: the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and, at the high school level, offers the IB Diploma Programme as an option. Of the 1,687 schools that participate in the IB program in North America and the Caribbean, Glenlyon Norfolk School is one of only 25 schools that offer the program at all three levels, and the only one in British Columbia to do so.
GNS is a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization, The Round Square, the CAIS, the ISABC, and the NAIS.
The present Headmaster is Mr. Simon Bruce-Lockhart.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
