Today, Glen Urquhart School, known as "GUS," has approximately 200 students from 25 towns and cities on the North Shore of Boston.
Service learning projects beginning in kindergarten and culminating in an eighth grade work week teach students about their community and global responsibilities.
An outdoor classroom, nature trail, and 7,000 square foot greenhouse provide settings for hands-on environmental and science study.
From their earliest days at GUS, students take classes in the visual arts, in both vocal and instrumental music, in dance, and in drama.
GUS students compete in soccer, cross-country, track and field, basketball, and lacrosse, acquiring the physical and mental foundation to become valuable players, captains, and All-Americans on high school and college teams.
The GUS campus includes seven buildings and spreads over 23 acres of woodland, marsh, and glen in the North Shore neighborhood of Beverly Farms.
