GREATER ESSEX COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Glenwood Public School Authorized to Offer Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate

Former Principal Sue Awender, Principal Terri Barrette, Vice-Principal Jillian Authier and I.B. Coordinator Darryl Dinham have led the staff and students of Glenwood through the rigorous process to become an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme World School.

For Glenwood students, staff and community guests this was an accomplishment worth celebrating.  "We are proud to announce the authorization of Glenwood Public School as an International Baccalaureate World School, Primary Years Programme," Principal Barrette announced to the assembly. "Our staff and students, with the support of our families, have worked diligently over the last few years implementing the I.B. standards and practices.  This was a beautiful celebration to recognize those efforts, and we are excited to continue our I.B. learning journey."

According to I.B., these programs aim " to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world." I.B. students are encouraged to think critically and solve complex problems, drive their own learning, become more culturally aware and engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world. 

Glenwood is proud to be the GECDSB's first authorized PYP world school in the city of Windsor. Go Griffins!
