EARLY SCHOOL

The Barrett School approach to early childhood education is rooted in play theory and physical activity. We emphasize experiential learning and critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity through a variety of student-led opportunities. Children learn through joyful play, a teaching method which is supported by a century of research. Children are introduced to concepts in math, science, literacy, and art while engaged in an academic curriculum that is centered around the child’s own interests which are expressed through inquiry-based questions.
