At the Clara Barton School…'the staff will teach students…encourage students to become self directed… continuously stress and foster excellence…[and] support the District's goal that states "Every Child Will Learn" in a clean, safe and healthy environment.
(*From the Barton Mission Statement).
The staff stress learning basics…the foundations of education….and build on these to help the students expand the breadth of their knowledge and understanding.
According to the Principal, Dr. Freddie Neal, "we challenge students with the core curriculum of science, math, social studies and reading.
On that foundation we continue to build self esteem and academic success with special academic support and enrichment programs such as art, accelerated reading, after school tutoring, a summer learning academy and parent seminars where parents learn how to help their children learn," he added.
