Glenelg Country School, private school in the United States
Glenelg Country School is a private day school in Howard County, Maryland, serving students from age two through grade 12. The campus blends historic buildings dating to the 1850s with modern educational facilities on the grounds of the former Glenelg Manor estate.
The school opened in 1954 with a small group of early grade students and expanded gradually over the decades. The upper school grades launched in the 1980s, with the first graduating class completing in 1989.
The school takes its name from the historic Glenelg Manor, whose past shapes the identity of the place today. Visitors can sense how the old estate and the modern school community coexist, making it a location with deep local meaning.
The campus is located in a quiet setting near Columbia with good accessibility for visitors exploring the grounds and historic buildings. Ample parking is available, and the layout makes it easy to walk through and see the different areas of the school.
The grounds were once a large farm that changed hands over time, with notable past owner William Lowndes adding features like a golf course and outdoor pavilions. This blend of agricultural heritage and modern school operations creates a setting unlike typical educational campuses.
