Forest Glen Elementary School celebrates its uniqueness as a culturally enriched partnership of students, staff, families, and community. Our international magnet school actively cultivates the maximum potential of each student in the lifelong learning process.

Through a multicultural environment that promotes understanding amongst diverse nationalities, the students of Forest Glen are provided with the opportunities and resources to become cross-cultural learners and responsible citizens.

Our staff is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in education. Our programs provide balanced instruction and experiences designed to meet the needs of the whole child. It nurtures the growth of each individual child academically, by teaching the skills required by the curriculum; socially, by fostering self-discipline, honesty, openness, tolerance, respect, and the ability to cope with change; intellectually, through the development of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking; emotionally, by fostering self-esteem, initiative, and a positive attitude towards life; and physically, through the promotion of health and fitness.

Education is viewed as more than the acquisition of knowledge. The process of inquiry, discovery, application, and creativity are considered equally important. At Forest Glen, we provide unique and challenging learning opportunities for all students, kindergarten through grade 5.
