The Barrie Blog
At Barrie School, we are constantly thinking about how students learn and how we can best facilitate that every day. In this blog, you'll find think pieces by school leaders who are engaging in action research; testimonials from faculty, students, and families about the unique kind of education that Barrie offers; and reflections by alumni who are taking the lessons learned here and applying them to their lives beyond Barrie.
Take a look and see what makes this school a very Barrie place to be.

At Barrie, we encourage students to question everything because that’s what enhances curiosity, deepens understanding, sparks innovation, and turns critical thinkers into purposeful doers. Critical thinking happens in our environments for students of all ages everyday.
For our youngest students, there is the daily opportunity to explore. Environments are set to allow students to connect with the materials, examine the purpose and determine what to do with them.
The future of learning is here.
