There is no question that life at Glades Day School extends beyond the classroom.

What will you participate in at Glades Day School?

Extracurricular activities provide a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context, & are thus considered part of a well-rounded education.

Memories that Last a Lifetime

Educational Travel

GDS offers students a variety of educational, age-appropriate field trips to expand the student’s understanding of the world. These field trips are an extension of the learning process, providing students with opportunities to explore, be active, and conduct field studies as part of the implementation of educational standards.
