My experience at Barrie School was something that I don't believe I would have experienced at any other high school. I gave me a great learning environment and some memorable experiences.

I think Barrie school is perfect if it is the place for you. The Barrie School has offered me so many unique opportunities, this school is perfect for me but it might not be perfect for everyone. You have to want to go here to find your place. The small class size makes it an amazing place to find your true communities.

The only thing that the school has going for it is location. The buildings are falling apart and my children have leaks in their classrooms. The overall administration is the most disorganized I've ever seen. Security is nonexistent and anyone could walk on campus. Academically my children received a much better education and had much more caring teachers at a public school.

This is a great school for experiential learning. Children have opportunities in both the Fall and Spring to travel and learn in a hands-on mode with the Fall trips by grade and the Spring trips by choice. The teachers here are awesome and the small class size allows kids to progress at their own pl...
