Our Curriculum
Middle & upper school curriculum is designed to guide students with a purposeful progression of learning from grade 6 through grade 12. Students master critical skills first, then move forward to build new ones.
This intentional structure promotes the transition from concrete operations to complex thinking processes in a supportive academic environment. A Barstow education fosters self-awareness and supports emerging interests, talents and goals.
