The Barrie Difference

Active Learning

Learning that Lasts

Active Learning is foundational to Barrie School’s approach to education. It is the common ground between Montessori and Project Based Learning and—we believe—key to excellence and cultivating a love of learning.

Academic Excellence

We believe that active participation is fed by intrinsic motivation, and that the key to academic excellence is unlocking the self-motivation that every learner has inside.

Student Voice & Responsibility

Find Your Voice

Empowering students to find their voice is central to Barrie School’s educational philosophy. From Day #1, our students learn not only the power of their voices, but the responsibility and accountability inherent in using them.
