Glen Urquhart School is a progressive day school for students in pre-K through grade 8, located 30 miles north of Boston, in Beverly Farms, MA.
From pre-K through elementary and middle school, Glen Urquhart School inspires students to grow as curious, confident, and capable learners—ready to engage thoughtfully with the world around them. Our program encourages taking risks, values collaboration, fosters leadership, honors every child’s experience, and emphasizes the power and responsibility each student has in the world.
We believe in the power of curiosity, being yourself, asking questions to find solutions, and working together for the greater good.
We believe in learning from mistakes, building each other up from the inside out, exploring beyond classroom walls, and thinking outside the box. We believe that changing the world with ideas starts in pre-k.

“They all get the skills, they get the rigor that we expect of them, but the way that they go at it is different. There’s a lot of freedom here to get students moving in the right direction but taking different paths.’’
–GUS Upper School Educator
"It's rare to find a school like GUS that takes such full advantage of the natural and cultural resources in Beverly, Cape Ann, and the wider world of New England. This conscious attention to connecting students with their places helps them become active citizens and preservers of their natural and cultural heritage."
– DAVID SOBEL, place-based education expert
