Activities

From the time the opening bell sounds at 9:10 am until the final bell rings at 3:45 pm, students at Gladwyne Elementary find themselves in a continuous state of learning each day in varying academic, social, athletic, and community activities. The building blocks of a truly great education are born by combining students who have a thirst for knowledge with a talented and caring staff who will do whatever it takes to see our children succeed. Students have a wide range of activities to choose from which help to foster their growth outside of their academic requirements.
