Welcome to Barton STEAM
The original inspiration behind Barton STEAM School was an opportunity to provide an innovative education that prioritized giving each student personalized learning opportunities while also facilitating career and college exploration through hybrid instruction.
Our Philosophy
Our educational philosophy focuses on creating independent, life-long learners who are afforded a life of choice and multiple pathways to success: college graduation or career success through a trade or military, and ultimately long-term self-sufficiency.
OUR MISSION To ensure a safe school environment that enables equity in opportunity, empower our students with 21st century, real-world skills and supports individualized learning opportunities that ensure college and career readiness.
We believe that our model uniquely positions our work to ensure our students:
- Have independent opportunities to engage in STEM curricula related to robotics and artificial intelligence, either in our courses or after school
- Explore career-focused electives, such as nursing, architecture, hotel management, manufacturing, and programming, to help students develop an idea of possible future paths
- Acquire four years of foreign language education, with the opportunity to study non-traditional languages including Chinese, Latin, and American Sign Language (ASL)
- Put leadership skills into practice both within and outside of the classroom
- Participate in Academic Success Seminars, giving students an additional two hours of support, focused on creating personalized learning plans for each student, improving classroom instruction, and using small-group tutorials to make sure they have the time and chance to reinforce what they have learned
