Glenwood School is located in the Langley School District, later School District 35 (Langley).

The first school was built in 1889 and known as Biggar Prairie School on the Richard Thomas Biggar homestead. On February 23, 1892 the name was changed by Alexander Cameron to Lochiel School. In 1896, a red school house was built with lumber floated from Bum Gartner's Saw Mill on Old Yale Road to the building site on North Bluff Road (now 16th Ave.). The original school was replaced in 1924 with a one room building--the old wing of the current building. The school operated for one year after which students were bussed to Murrayville. In 1937, the school was reopened. In 1950, the school was moved to a three acre plot on 224th Street just south of 16th Ave. On February 20, 1975, arsonists set fire to the school causing major damage. It was then moved to Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley, BC.

Found at 23851 - 24 Avenue in Langley, Wix-Brown Elementary Schools is one of Langley few rural schools. The school was named after the Wix and Brown families. Montague Wix was killed during WWI. Robert Brown was a veteran of the NW Rebellion in 1885, fighting against Louis Riel. In 1900, he owned an acreage east of 240th Street which was named Brown Road in his honour. Built in 1961, the K-7 school has seen many changes. It is currently hosting 160 students of many ethnicities and educational levels. In 2004, there are 293 pupils attending Wix-Brown.
