My overall experience at Glenvar has been cut shorter than I would have preferred because of the COVID-19 virus. But they school and staff have been nothing but amazing. The overall experience and culture has been amazing and the atmosphere at the school is great. Everyone makes you feel so safe and it feels kind of like an at home feel. But I can't complain because they have been nothing but great to me.
