Neighbourhood in Southwest Calgary. 25% is low income, and has a high rate of immigrants. Some streets in Glenbrook look a lot worse than Forest Lawn, but doesn't have a bad reputation like Forest Lawn. Sometimes referred to the "ghetto" of Southwest Calgary. The local junior high has had hostage takings like it's no big deal. Most of the minorities in the neighbourhood are Lebanese, Black and Latino and is mostly a renting community.

Get the Glenbrook North mug.Rival school to Glenbrook North, GBS kicks GBN's ass at pretty much everything. Especially football, since GBN decided to drop out of the district league because they couldnt win any games. Plus GBS actually has a few black kids. Glenbrook South is also known for throwing down sick rages. Home of many lax bros, the ultimate lax bro was inspired by this school.

Get the Glenbrook South mug.A collection of at any given time 120 or so high schoolers lacking enough social skills to adequately communicate and so smart they could probably end world hunger if they weren't so busy discussing it. Known to have affinities for debate, music, technology, etc. Often abbreviated simply to "the Academy."
Conversation regarding the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies:
A: Dude, my brother hasn't left his room in about a year.
B: Why not?
A: It's cuz he's in the Academy. He needs a life.

Get the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies mug.Founded to be a leading path for the future generation to rule the world with mind broadening education, the Academy hosts an eccentric cast of characters. Each brilliant student has a superiority complex they are unwilling to admit to, an unhealthy obsession with something they should have stopped liking in middle school, and a strange bond over lasagna (must be free trade). A group that could succeed in world domination if they weren’t too busy yelling at each other at three am telling one another to go to bed. From an outsider’s point of view, you really can’t tell if they all hate each other or love each other. Either way, they’re hilarious to watch.
Dude, your sibling is in the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies? How’s their Percy Jackson obsession? How’s their stubborn burn out waiting to happen? When do they start their homework? I bet they start it at 3 am, right? Do they have any friends outside of Academy? How many of them want to pursue a career in humanities? How many of them threaten to run away to a cottage in the middle of nowhere at the slightest inconvenience? Wow. What a bunch of geeks.

Get the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies mug.Glenbrook North is located on the North Shore of Chicago residing in Northbrook. It is ranked in the top 10 schools in IL.
Most students at GBN well-off white Catholics or Jews.People for the most part are pretty nice, although they get shallower with the years. People like to exaggerate about how hard GBN is, but it is only hard if you're taking 6 AP classes out of 8 periods.
Almost all of the students are involved in GBN in some way, shape, or form through sports or clubs. There is a club for EVERYTHING, and if there isn't a club to support your interest, it is not at all hard to start your own because students are pretty open minded and supportive of each other. GBN's rivals are Glenbrook South and Deerfield. Granted, GBN does have some not-so-good sports, but the best ones are basketball, swimming, soccer, volleyball, hockey, and lacrosse. OK so we're good at a lot of sports... What can we say? On the other hand, the fine arts program is also top-notch, and the collaborative musicals put on every year between GBN and GBS seem almost professional.
GBN's facilities are state of the art and constantly undergo renovation. Teachers are very helpful and generally do their best to give students extra attention during their office hours if needed.
Overall, GBN is one of the most well-rounded and greatest schools on the North Shore. Go Spartans!
