Mapping the World from the Inside Out
This weekend, The Wall Street Journal featured an article on the creative process of GCS Alumnus, Blaise Agüera y Arcas '93, the architect of Microsoft's Bing Maps.

Wall Street Journal, November 6, 2010
Fifteenth- and 16th-century European explorers helped to transform cartography during the Age of Discovery. Rather than mapping newly discovered worlds, Blaise Agüera y Arcas is out to invent new ways of viewing the old ones.
Mr. Agüera y Arcas is the architect of Bing Maps, the online mapping service that is part of Microsoft Corp.'s Bing Internet search engine. Bing Maps does all the basics, like turn-by-turn directions and satellite views that offer a peek into the neighbor's backyard, but Mr. Agüera y Arcas has attracted attention in the tech world by pushing the service to do a lot more.

Investing in Glenelg Country School's Future.
Philanthropy is about investing in the values that are important to you.

Glenelg Country School is more than an outstanding community of teachers and enthusiastic learners, more than about character and education, more than the buildings and fields where we learn and play. Certainly all these aspects are important, but they do not entirely capture the distinctive caring atmosphere — the part of our mission that promises to foster intellectual curiosity, integrity, respect and compassion, and inspire each of us to contribute to the greater good.

Glenelg Country School relies on the support of our loyal and generous community of parents, grandparents, alumni and friends. For our community of students, teachers, and alumni, both past and present parents to continue to thrive we ask you to carry forward the generous spirit of the thousands of supporters who have taken us to this point with a financial gift.

What is the Dragon's Lair?
The Dragon's Lair is Glenelg Country School's Community Portal.

The portal pages are designed for Glenelg Country parents, students, alumni, trustee, faculty and staff, and contain information on upcoming events, recent news, school photos, videos and more.

In addition to the information displayed on each public community page, there is also a password-protected, private login section for each community page that includes important information, announcements and online directories.
