St. Barnabas Episcopal School
At St. Barnabas Episcopal School, our educational philosophy is that each student reaches his or her full academic potential in a student-centered environment, where each student is embraced, nurtured, and respected as a unique child of God. Empowering our students to gain a solid understanding of their moral and ethical obligations as members of our society is equally important. Their identities are formed by a Christian foundation of love that supports and challenges our students to build lives of genuine meaning, direction, and service in the world they will inherit.
K4 and Kindergarten
Our Bible-based curriculum correlates with our monthly Fruit of the Spirit and life skills. Daily Bible stories are read, along with prayer at morning, snack, and lunch. We begin with the Fruit of love, and add one more each month, giving the students opportunities each day to learn, write, read, practice, and eventually live out these traits.
Elementary
Students focus on the faithfulness of God and how He always keeps His promises. Each week a Bible Story and Biblical truths are shared. Our study begins in Genesis with the Creation and covers key stories and passages in both the Old and New Testaments. Church Holy Days such as the Advent and Lenten seasons are discussed and celebrated. Activities and additional media help children comprehend and apply Biblical truths. Character development is taught through the teaching of The Fruit of the Spirit with a different fruit emphasized each month.
Middle
School
Middle School Christian Education class is a safe place for students to explore their faith, purpose, identity and passions. Students delve into the gospel of Jesus Christ and discover what it is, what it has to do with us, and why it really is “good news.” They see that the truth of this gospel message is relevant to our everyday lives as students, friends, and members of our family and community.
Measures of excellence
We believe a campus visit is the best way to determine if our school is the right academic home for your family. We welcome all prospective families to come take a tour, and meet with our administration, staff, and faculty.
