A Note From the Headmaster

Dear GP Families,

We hope you enjoyed your time visiting with our Faculty and Staff last night. We know we appreciated the time we had with you! Whether you were singing in Music, chanting in Latin, problem-solving in Math, or discussing in Humane Letters, we hope that what you experienced – even if only in brief – was what we love. Mr. Withers’ talk on our “Six Loves” is the foundation of what we do at Glendale Prep. While we may not explicitly speak of our loves often enough, we realize how vital it is that we keep them in the front of our minds and remind our community about what binds us together. As you go into the weekend, we leave you with our Six Loves with the hope that you’ll see the influence these have in the life of your child.

1. Moral, Intellectual, and Physical Virtue
2. The Western Tradition
3. Human Dignity and Freedom
4. Philosophical Realism
5. Conversation and Community
6. Humility

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Sincerely yours,
Brandon Crowe
Headmaster
