The Barn is an 18,000 square foot learning paradise. Reading and writing classes take place in the Literature Suite of The Barn. This room is decked out in western style with comfortable chairs and sofas. This environment promotes our idea that reading should be fun and relaxing. Each student spends a significant portion of each day in the writing and publishing area.
Students work on creative writing projects such as poetry and short stories.
They publish field guides, care booklets for animals, game rule books, research papers, and reports. In addition to all of this writing, they also publish a student newspaper and compile an anthology of their written and artistic work. In The Barn, math is taught in a hands-on and logical Constructivist approach using manipulatives and real world applications. During this time, students work on projects in the math area and in the computer lab that relate to their math work and to the increasing uses of technology in the new millennium. The studio theatre offers an intimate, professional space for the students to rehearse theatric skills and to produce theatre.
