The Glenway School District was established formally in January 1967 and a one-room schoolhouse located in NE2-3-3E and operated nearby, and to the north of, the Glenway Hutterite Colony in what is now the Rural Municipality of Emerson-Franklin. Limited information suggests the school pre-dates 1967, with grades 1-9 being hosted on site at least as early as September 1966. The structure at that time measured 22 feet by 30 feet. The district was formed in part from the catchment area previously allotted to the Arnaud School District No. 2424. In April 1967, it became part of the Boundary School Division. New school quarters, known as Glenway School, were later established in the colony at SE2-3-3E.
Among the teachers of Glenway School was Henry Enns (1966-1967).
