To achieve better results, sometimes schools have to think outside the norm. Barat Academy is the only secondary school in St. Louis to offer single-gender classrooms on a co-ed campus. Girls and boys interact at morning announcements, lunch, and other activities, including service-learning projects and school dances. But classrooms are gender specific, to offer fewer distractions and increased participation. All courses at this private Catholic school are college preparatory, and curriculum includes an array of Advanced Placement courses.
For those who wish to expand their academic horizons even further, Barat offers independent coursework outside of the regular curriculum that can be taken in-person and online. Options include advanced classes in math, science, social studies, and language arts, as well as coursework in fine arts, physical education, theology, and foreign language.
Beyond academics, Barat offers enrichment through student service opportunities on campus and in the community. Students complete their senior year with a student-led Peace Project which allows them to execute their own social justice program.
Barat students also enjoy a diverse selection of extra-curricular activities. The athletic program allows students to participate in high-level competition, and the fine arts department offers opportunities to compete and perform at instrumental, vocal, and theater productions on campus, in the community, and on tour to out-of-state destinations.
Serving around 50 students in grades 6-12, Barat Academy’s unique educational environment has received an A rating from Niche.com. After graduating, 90 percent of Barat students go on to attend a four-year college.

Horrible is the only review that I can say about this school. If you are a minority or someone that has a child with a learning disability, then this school is truly not for them.

I am truly at a loss as to how this school is rated as anything but terrible. We were additionally stunned after our child transferred out and was so far behind academically.There is nothing good I can say about this place.
