Welcome to the online home of the Glenforest School in West Columbia, SC where since 1983 our school has been providing “an exceptional education for students who learn differently” across the state. Our goal every day is to serve and educate students who’s learning style is not conventional regardless if they are enrolled at Glenforest or elsewhere. We want to be a resource to the creative minds and young hearts who learn in a variety of ways, as well as to families and teachers who work in the learning difference (LD) arena.
Over the years it has been said to us by many families “…it’s incredible, Glenforest has made learning fun again for our child!” A student with a diagnosed or non-diagnosed learning disability (LD) does not always imply there is a lack of ability. Let us say this again, have a learning differences is not an indicator of someone who lacks the intelligence to do the school work but the student does need a different way of instruction in order for them to absorb the knowledge. In fact many misunderstand due to the “curse of knowledge” and if you want to know more about this come speak with us.
Families choose Glenforest for its caring environment, resourceful and engaging instruction, and passion found in the classroom for each student. If you believe your child is capable of more we encourage you to set up a tour today either by calling Shayna at 803-796-7622 x105 or requesting a visit by email.
