Glenwood Academy

Glenwood Academy emphasizes a highly customized, student-by-student approach (“the GA Way”), challenging traditional models by personalizing instruction and intentionally supporting each learner’s strengths and needs. Their program explicitly teaches executive-function skills and uses structured, multisensory methods (e.g., Orton-Gillingham for literacy and multisensory math), while integrating subjects through a humanities model. They also embed social-emotional learning (“True GRIT”) in a nurturing, relationship-centered environment and connect learning to real-world college, career, and community pathways.

Glenwood Academy asks families to start by completing the Admissions Inquiry Form (and notes this should be done before applying); after you inquire, the school will contact you to review the application process and answer initial questions. (glenwood-academy.org) Next, families submit the online application, pay a non‑refundable $100 application fee, and provide required documents as directed by Admissions (examples listed include report cards/transcripts, a psychological-educational evaluation, an educational plan such as an IEP/504/SSP, and OT/SLP evaluations). (glenwood-academy.org) Admissions then confirms when all application materials have been received, and the site indicates it is accepting applications for the 2026/27 school year. (glenwood-academy.org) For enrollment, the FAQ states a $3,000 non‑refundable deposit (applied to tuition) must accompany the completed contract and tuition agreement to secure enrollment, and it also notes financial aid is limited for current students and is not available for first‑year students. (glenwood-academy.org) The admissions pages reviewed do not spell out specific application deadlines/key dates beyond the “now accepting” notice, nor do they describe a waitlist process or any priority admission categories; families are directed to contact the school (including an admissions email) for details on timing and availability.
