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:
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
