Why the Glenview New Church Schools?

What do our families say about GNCS?
"I visited almost every class and found the teachers superb - both what they taught and the way they taught. I know that it is compares favorably to other area schools."
–The Lee Family

"I love the teachers, the physical and emotional environment, and the foundation the school provides. The fact that it has an afterschool care program is also a plus."
– Patricia Vasquez

"I think GNCS is a supportive, nurturing environment which is great for a preschooler."
– Teresa Vamos

"I like the high level of attention provided to children due to low class sizes and the way kids excel as a result. I also want the school to grow, since as the student body grows, the more the social pool will grow."
– The Scheer Family

"I believe in New Church education to prepare children for a life to eternity."
– The Roewer family

"I really like the school and the teachers are wonderful. They are hands on with my child and give the attention he needs."
– Denise Johnson

"GNCS provides high quality education, along with strong New Church teachings, which are the most important factors in choosing a school for me."
– Coleman Glenn

"The whole child is educated: spiritually, emotionally and academically. The teachers are warm and treat my son with respect (requiring it of him too). They bring out the best in him and make him feel great for who he is and what he can give back to society. He is challenged to rise to every occasion."
– Sarah Berto

"The New Church content of the eduction. The caring one-on-one attention our child receives. The unique experiences that can and do happen at our school."
– The Buss family

"All the teachers' motivations are pure. They want deeply for each child to be happy and successful. The wholesome, friendly, Christian atmosphere makes for children who are kind and headed in a great direction in their lives. More and more the whole staff is taking seriously their profession as teachers. Deep friendships created in this kind of environment last forever."
– The Synnestvedt family

"There are so many things I love about the Glenview New Church School. One of them is the fact that there is always open communication between the teacher and the parent. As a parent, I am welcome to visit the classroom, see my child's projects first-hand, see the classroom dynamics between the teachers and my child (and between the other students and my child), and see for myself whether my child is indeed learning and whether he is happy in the environment. Also, the fact that there are so many specialized teachers here - English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, and Music - is a great opportunity for my child to receive the best education that I can give them. At GNCS, my child has so many occasions to participate in fun and educational activities throughout the year, compared to that of the current Glenview public schools. My child is extremely happy here at GNCS."
- GNCS parent

"The Glenview New Church School is a wonderful school for a child to learn and grow. My daughter attends here and I am impressed with the involvement of the whole school community. The students are treated as individuals and not just a person sitting at a desk. There is love and warmth in a caring environment. Parents are always welcome. We are like a small school family. Come visit anytime and see this great school for yourself."
– GNCS parent

"The Glenview New Church Schools is a wonderful school. My children have been going for over six years, and I cannot recommend it more. The teachers are incredible, and my children love going to this school."
– GNCS parent

"The Glenview New Church School provides excellent services to their students and families. The care my child receives is very loving, wholesome and individual. I know I can go and talk to the teachers anytime and about anything that concerns my child. Great school for working parents - before and aftercare is available!"
– GNCS parent

"The GNCS provides a caring, involved staff along with providing an excellent, creative education."
– Beth Giannini

"Both my wife and I are very impressed with the school. The faculty is very professional but also very caring, dedicated and supportive. Being a church school they encourage the spiritual growth of the child as well as academic and people skills. What pleased us the most though was the high level of academic achievement of these students. Not all our children went to the school and those that did were far better prepared and confident when they transitioned to Glenbrook South."
– GNCS parent

"GNCS is such a warm and caring environment. The small class size is appealing as each student receives a ton of attention and is treated as an individual. The preschool is developmentally appropriate with plenty of time for children to learn through play and exploration both indoors and out. The communication from the school is outstanding. I appreciate the school's genuine interest in involving the family in each child's education. If you are looking for a positive, challenging environment where your child will thrive, look no further!"
– GNCS parent

"My wife and I moved here 4 years ago. Finding this school was a blessing. The programs and facilities are excellent and very child-centered. An issue came up between a couple of parents and when it was resolved professionally and lovingly in a very short time, it was clear to me that these people's hearts and abilities really are in the right place. I recommend the school to anyone."
– GNCS parent

"We are very happy with the school. The development of a child in an atmosphere of love and caring is an extension of our home."
– Sharon Acton

"GNCS has been a wonderful choice for us. The teachers go out of their way to be flexible, and to accommodate to each child's individual needs. The environment is extremely loving and positive. My son's only complaint is that the school day is 'too short!'"
– GNCS parent

"We have been very happy with GNCS over the past three years. The school is small, professional and responsive. We have great access to the teachers and the administration. The size creates a challenge for athletics, but they make up for it with collaborate programs with other schools, the park district and an emphasis on health. Excellent choice for the tuition. All our kids are advancing rapidly. Standardized test scores are outstanding. Loving Christian environment. We love it."
– GNCS parent

"GNCS offers real answers for life NOW and for the FUTURE; for INDIVIDUALS and for the WORLD. Well-rounded (spiritual AND natural), balanced, child-centered education. Students become part of a caring community of teachers, parents and support people. Awesome outdoor campus."
– Roxanne Junge

– Hee-Won Yang

– Chris Price

"We love the teachings of the New Church, the attention that our children receive, and the love and respect that the teachers have for our children."
– Myriam Goyes

"Small classes, commitment, and nourishing attitude of everyone involved. The teachers really seem to care about their students and seem very willing to search out and try to develop different ways of helping the children to move forward- both emotionally and intellectually. The three teachers I have had the privilege of working with are excellent and others I have had the pleasure of observing seem outstanding too (music and art)."
– Gloria Shelton

"We love the small classes, wonderful teachers and staff, and that it is religion-based."

– Rebekah Russell

"Me and my husband are very happy with the choice we made picking up the school for our daughter. She loves it!"
– GNCS parent

"Three of my children went all the way through the school and I found that it was a wonderful foundation. The children received great individual attention and learned at their own speed, thus keeping them engaged and enjoying school."
– GNCS parent

"This is a school my son is proud of going to with a beautiful, safe campus and teachers who really get to know and care for each kids’ needs. Drop in and watch kids play and help each other, as all age kids get to blend and help each other!"
– GNCS parent


"This school provides high quality education and individualized attention to each of its students. The campus is beautiful complete with winding forest paths, three playgrounds and a picturesque pond that is home to many kinds of wildlife including ducklings in the spring. The community is very friendly and down to earth."
– GNCS parent

"The youngest of our four children will graduate from the GNCS this Spring. In a large metropolitan community, it is a blessing to be involved in a school where our children are loved and respected as the individuals they are, and not a 'number' on a school ID to anyone. The education is outstanding. In a small class, children are taught to think for themselves, and have the space to be very creative in all classes from math to history. Students are able to take part in all aspects of school life, so they get experiences in plays, all school musicals, rotating school paper editor, and working with different age groups from preschoolers to adopted grandparents. GNCS is a community where teachers, parents and students work together for a rich learning experience."
