Dear Glendale Prep Parents,

It is my pleasure to invite you to our Curriculum Night this Thursday, August 21, from 5:45 PM–7:45 PM. This evening is a valued tradition at Glendale Prep, offering you the opportunity to walk the halls of the Academy, step into your child’s classes, and glimpse the richness of the classical education they encounter each day.

Evening Schedule

5:45 PM – Check-in begins through the gym lobby doors; information tables will be available in the gym and will include: athletics, college counseling, PSO, enrichment courses, and more!
6:00 PM – Opening remarks- Mrs. Janssen, Interim Headmaster
Following remarks, parents will attend classes in sequence according to their child’s schedule:
- Each class: 10 minutes, with a 5-minute passing period.
- Bells will guide transitions, and faculty will be stationed in the halls for assistance.

Important Notes

This is a parent-only event. Child care will not be provided.
Kindly review the Event Parking Document prior to arrival; a full campus is expected.
While Curriculum Night highlights the curriculum and classroom experience, it does not allow time for individual conferences. Should you wish to discuss your child’s progress, please arrange a separate meeting with the appropriate teacher.

I look forward to welcoming you on Thursday evening and to sharing with you the joy of our common pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty in education.

With warm regards,

Rachel Janssen
Interim Headmaster

Dear Glendale Prep High School Families,

Thank you for signing up for the High School Retreat at Lost Canyon. This is a significant opportunity for nearly 300 students and 15-20 teachers to create meaningful connections and cultivate kindness from the very beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. The trust and relationships shaped at the retreat will augment the educational formation that the students will experience in the classroom. The retreat will facilitate bonding over team-building activities, karaoke, leadership exercises, s’mores, and seminars.

Attached HERE is a packet containing a packing list, camp map, our behavior guidelines and contact information for the camp and for Mrs. Janssen and Mrs. Haley. High School Retreat specific dress code guidelines can be found on the Glendale Prep Dress Code Document on the GP Website HERE.
