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:
“At school boys become gluttons and slovens, and, instead of cultivating domestic affections, very early rush into the libertinism which destroys the constitution before it is formed; hardening the heart as it weakens the understanding.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
