Since its founding in 1932, Barrie School has devoted itself to providing an outstanding education to students from diverse backgrounds. A Montessori curriculum in the Lower School provides the foundation for more traditional college-preparatory programs in the Middle and Upper Schools. At all levels, there is an emphasis on student-centered instruction and experiential learning. Clusters of low classroom buildings blend with the natural environment. A single-lane bridge joins the Lower School campus with the Middle and Upper School campus.
Facilities provide a stimulating, safe leaning environment.
In Barrie's Middle and Upper Schools, students move among several classroom buildings during the day as if on a small-scale college campus. Science laboratories, a computer graphics lab, and extensive library resources support students' curricular needs. A barn and riding ring are used for horseback riding lessons and equestrian team practices. The best way to decide whether Barrie is the right school for your child is to visit. Weekly open houses offer an opportunity to tour campus, spend time in the classrooms, and talk to students and faculty.
