My son started at Barthart 8 years ago and we could not be happier with his experience. The reason we first came to Barnhart School was the middle school. Our child was only in preschool, but we saw the type of students that the school was turing out and we were amazed.
The middle schoolers were helping the kindergartners, they came out of their way to say hi to us. One girl walked over to my soon, knealed down and started speaking with him. She told him all about the school and that she had been there for 8 years and really loved the place. My wife and I knew that if Barnhart could produce such nice kids at the 12- 14 year old age, this was the place for our son.
We couldn't be happier with the choice. He has turned into one of those nice kids. We have had none of the middle school angst and frustration that we here from our friends whose children attend public school. He is also NOT EXPOSED TO DRUGS OR ANY LEUD BEHAVIOR that we see with our local arcadia public schools. He's a nice, if somewhat sheltered young man. That's what I wanted from Barnhart and that's what I got. A kid I can be proud of.
The education at the school is great as well. Most of his friends who just graduated got into Poly, Prep, La Salle or another school of their choice. Best of all the school is so much more affordable than other private schools in the area it just makes sense.
