At Glendale, we believe that developing a strong character is the foundation of becoming a good human being. Our activities through the U SDG programs, the Leader in Me programs and our strong pedagogical framework enable us to give students an environment they can discover their inner potential in.
We engage the curious minds of children to inspire critical thinking within them. Instead of silly recalling facts, teachers call upon students to evaluate, synthesise, apply a higher level of thinking and thus gain a higher level of learning.
How we express ourselves verbally, in writing and through other mediums is an essential part of the human experience. Through a variety of activities built around a core of communication we guide students to develop their communication skills.
Evidence that the brain learns better in concert with others.

Arts, when integrated into the curriculum through the STEAM methodology provides students a visual and expressive way to learn. According to the Harvard’s Project Zero on studio thinking, there are 8 habits of the brain which need a visual, creative medium to be honed. Through our focus on creativity, we help students gain valuable skills that give them an edge in this age of unprecedented disruption.
