GLORY COMMUNITY CLOSES
After operating Glory Community for five and a half years, experience has shown us that a private pay model cannot be successful due to the fact that, even though we were in the lowest quartile of tuition across the country, the majority of our families cannot afford this tuition.

If you have questions, please call the Co-Founders Sandy or Jim Hembd at 303 410 9699.
