Welcome to Glider Elementary School! Glider Elementary serves a vibrant, culturally diverse community in San Jose, California. Glider students are enthusiastic learners. In relationship with our parents and community, we support, challenge and prepare our students as they progress in their educational journey. It is our expectation that when our students leave Glider they are prepared to be successful in middle school, to complete high school A-G requirements, and to be eligible to attend the college of their choice. In addition, we prepare our students to be lifelong learners and knowledgeable individuals. Our expectations are that students will be respectful, responsible members that encourage others and make good choices critical to a successful life experience.
