Glamorgan is situated in a well-established south west community. The school was built in 1958 and is the Traditional Learning Centre for Area IV and the community school of Glamorgan.

Our population is 352 students. Twenty-three students are in Grades 6 in the regular program and 229 students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 are in the Traditional Learning Centre (TLC) program of choice. Each year the Traditional Learning Centre program will increase a grade until there is a full elementary program offered in the TLC for Area IV students. We value the diverse needs of all learners and provide flexible groupings to meet their needs. We are involved with the International Bureau in welcoming students from around the world to share our learning experiences.

Our students currently move on from Glamorgan School to A.E. Cross School for Grades 7 to 9 and then to Central Memorial High School.

Our students who choose late French immersion move to Bishop Pinkham School.
