Glendale Colony Elementary is a small, specialized public school located in rural Frankfort, South Dakota. As its name implies, the school is situated within a Hutterite colony, serving the educational needs of children living within that specific community. It operates as part of the broader South Dakota public school system but functions as a unique, localized learning environment tailored to the cultural and academic requirements of its students.

Because of its setting, the school typically maintains a small, close-knit atmosphere with a curriculum designed to align with the values and lifestyle of the colony while meeting state educational standards. It serves as a vital hub for the community's youth, providing primary education in a setting that integrates traditional instruction with the specific social structure of the Glendale Hutterite Colony.
