This is GUS.

Where a rigorous education looks different.

Glen Urquhart School is a progressive, pre-K through grade 8 day school, located 30 miles north of Boston, in Beverly Farms, MA.

Our progressive approach to education develops students who are curious, engaged, and determined to make the world a better place.

We believe in children working hard, challenging their intellects, and preparing to navigate high school, college, and beyond with confidence, curiosity, humility, and a sense of purpose.

Our mission + vision

Children learn best in classrooms that extend beyond four walls into the surrounding world. Our 23-acre campus, and the North Shore at large, are our curriculum’s primary sources for learning.

Our thematic curriculum provides students with endless opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. Each grade’s rigorous curriculum is rooted in the core subjects of reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, and world language. This learning is brought to life through carefully selected themes tied to our surroundings that integrate multiple subjects, correlate with social, emotional, and intellectual development, and allow students to test different strategies for learning.

“GUS helped me define how I like to learn, and empowered me to seek educational environments that meet my needs and interests. In addition to learning to follow my interests, I learned the value of learning by asking big questions and tackling difficult challenges.”
