The Barclay School
The mission of the Barclay School is to provide a rich, diverse curriculum in a safe, nurturing environment.  Learning is hands-on, experiential and organic. The holistic approach honors the whole child; strengths are honed while weaknesses are remediated. Assessment is authentic and child centered.

Balanced Year 


The Barclay School is a year round school.  We use a balanced year and a balanced curriculum.


We go to school the same 180 days as a traditional school.  Instead of having a very long summer break, the balanced calendar distributes the breaks evenly over the whole year.  This eliminates the need to use the first weeks in fall to "re-teach" forgotten material.


Students with memory issues particularly benefit from more frequent, shorter breaks, evenly distributed throughout the year.
