Glenbrook School

What Glenbrook School does

Glenbrook School is a private, college-preparatory K-12 institution operating from a single campus at 1674 Country Club Circle in Minden, Louisiana. Founded before its first graduating class in 1971, the school serves approximately 450 students through a curriculum aligned to the TOPS University Diploma track, supplemented by dual enrollment partnerships with LSU, Louisiana Tech University, Northwestern State University, and Bossier Parish Community College that allow students to accumulate up to 34 college credit hours. The academic core is augmented by an athletics program spanning football, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, swim, and cross country, an Apache After Care program for K-6 students, and the Minden Montessori early-childhood program integrated onto the K-12 campus since March 2023.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly or annual tuition (with a 5% discount for annual prepayment), non-refundable $300-per-child registration fees, the $40/week after-care program, and supplementary giving streams including the Generations Club membership ($250/year), the Tuition for Technology raffle, and a multi-year capital expansion campaign. The go-to-market model is direct enrollment via a sales-led admissions process that includes family interviews, new-student orientation, and priority re-enrollment for current families and siblings. Marketing is concentrated on the school website, email newsletters, Facebook, and active parent and grandparent organizations (APO, Apache Booster Club, Glenbrook Generations).

Technology infrastructure consists of commodity classroom tools — Chromebooks, Smart Boards, newly installed fiber optic lines, Accelerated Reader reading-assessment software, and Blackbaud SmartTuition for billing — with no proprietary platforms, AI capabilities, or external software products. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees, with Johnna Jinks serving as Head of School as of April 2025, and operates as an independent nonprofit educational institution with no disclosed parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership.
