History
History
The school was originally established in Pymble in 1957, by Sylvia Brose OAM, out of the community surrounding Walter and Marion Burley Griffin and their belief that the values of design, the arts, community, nature and spirit needed to underpin a rich academic education. In 1970 the school was fully established in Middle Cove, located on four and a half acres of bushland. During the 1990s, Glenaeon expanded to the Castlecrag campus, where it now caters for Kindergarten and classes 1 and 2.
