Glenbrook Academy of International Studies
The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies is a four year program with students from Glenbrook South and Glenbrook North. 30 students are selected as freshmen each year, through an application process. Founded in 1981 to give students a more global perspective, it covers English, Social Studies, and a foreign language. Each class learns a different foreign language from a rotation of four: Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese. The application process involves written recommendations, a mailed essay, an impromptu essay, and an interview with faculty.

Famous quotes containing the words academy and/or studies:
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
