Our Mission
We embrace an optimistic future in partnership with families on behalf of our community’s children. We educate the whole child by developing intellect and curiosity, engaging creativity, fostering responsibility and citizenship while building positive and collaborative relationships. We establish a foundation for our students that leads to post-secondary opportunities and success.
Glen Ellyn School District 41 is a high-performing public school district serving approximately 3,500 students in preschool through eighth grade. All schools are located in Glen Ellyn and the district serves the communities of Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Wheaton, Lombard, and Carol Stream.

Our district includes four elementary schools, a Kindergarten Center, a preschool program, a dual-language program, and Hadley Junior High School. Students move on from Hadley to Glenbard West High School. Together, our dedicated educators, staff, families, and community members work to create engaging learning environments where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
