Clara Barton Open School is a student-centered, public K-8 magnet school fostering a community of active, socially conscious, life-long learners.
At Barton Open, the student is an active partner in learning. Open Education is grounded in the belief that children are capable learners, and that the classroom and the school are microcosms of democracy in action. Teachers and students engage together in the authentic learning experiences of being readers, writers, artists, scientists, mathematicians, and thinkers exploring the world. As a progressive school, we’re intentional about being student-centered and focused on the whole child. Barton Values: - We instill a love of lifelong learning through passionate engagement and meaningful experiences. - We value each child for his or her perspective, and create a safe, caring and reflective environment that values each child. - We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum and culturally responsive instruction. Using the Responsive Classroom model, we encourage choice, critical thinking, independence, arts expression, social skills and intellectual engagement. - We develop an atmosphere of mutual respect and equity through our diverse learning community. - We encourage creative, courageous and collaborative inquiry for all by developing learners who think independently and thrive in a global society. - We involve children in decision-making and self-directed learning. Their voices are an essential part of the process. - We educate for a democratic society by valuing personal voice through curriculum that strengthens community and a sense of citizenship.
