We emphasize science, technology, engineering, the arts and math across the curriculum. All K-12 students have access to the Dan & Cassidy Towriss IDEA Space.
Our challenging and rigorous curriculum emphasizes hands-on, project-based lessons that make learning memorable. We focus on 21st century skills: critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and character.
Innovation
From our beginning in 1884 as a college prep school for girls to becoming the region's first school to offer a 1:1 technology program, we've always been forward thinking.
Community
A single campus for preschool through grade 12 keeps students, families, faculty and staff connected. Together, we support students in the classroom, on stage and on athletic fields.
Barstow’s Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID+E) committee works to strengthen the foundation of inclusion that is part of our school culture. The Cultural Enrichment Festival last February was certainly one of the highlights of this effort. Families and friends represented 30 countries and shared traditions, food and culture with more than 500 guests! It was magical. It was emotional. And we want to build on the momentum it created.
