It has been amazing I really love the environment and student body. I find that there are no "cliques" and everyone is involved in a variety of different activities. The teacher take extra care for each individual students education and is always involved and concerned with a student's success.

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.

I do love this school. I feel like going to this school makes you apart of another family separate from your own. You always feel included and like youre voice can be heard. I feel like Barrie gave me tons of opportunities and catered to my needs and i was allowed to mold my experience based on the kind of student that I am.

The problem is the school is completely disorganized, and doesn't seem to be able to fulfill any of their promises. No one seems to complain when anything goe...

After two commercial breaks from marketing department, we would like to share our observation, perspective. Some are good teachers, communicators, educators, Some not. Some are dedicated their jobs, Some are seasonal. It depends how much you are involved with your child's school to be aware of dynam...
