In general, Glenbrook North High school offers one of the best education program and curriculum in Illinois! Our school provides many educational opportunities and challenges for each and every student currently attending this specific high school! In other words, GBN provides high-level sport activities, clubs, as well as projects! As a current sophomore, I've been able to obtain leadership and social skills as a community member of GBN! As a regular participant of Key Club and Medical Club, I've been able to achieve long-term goals I've set for my overall high school experience through interacting with other students and assisting their needs. I am proud to say every single teacher at our school is fair and equal to each and every student of Glenbrook North High school.
As with any school, GBN has its flaws. In my opinion, the school often misuses its budget for vanity or unnecessary technology while certain essential systems still don't function as intended. The school's responses and resources for mental health problems are lacking for many students. However, I still feel incredibly lucky to have attended GBN. There is an incredible number of opportunities to get involved in the fine arts, career and technical prep, STEM, and everything in between. Students can find community in all corners of the building—on sports teams, in performing arts ensembles, in STEM competitions, etc. The teachers are there to help you and teach you to learn, not just to give you grades. Overall, it's a very good school, and I feel prepared for the next stages of my life.
I had a fantastic experience at Glenbrook North (GBN) High School! GBN got me into Harvard College from where I graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics and the Stanford Graduate School of Business from where I graduated with an MBA. GBN's teachers are fantastic and I'll fondly remember learning from them and being mentored by them. I was a member of the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies which is a nationally recognized program integrating the teaching and learning of English, Social Studies, and World Languages for students in the Glenbrook High Schools. Glenbrook Academy students are accepted at Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale and other prestigious universities.
The diverse range of extracurricular activities and student clubs offers students a wide range of activities in which to get involved. The facilities of the school are modern and excellent. School spirit is vibrant with everyone rooting for our sports teams. Go Spartans!
