Student Life
Explore Everything Barstow Offers
Student life at Barstow is packed with possibility. As they perform, play, write, debate and create, our students build community and confidence in classrooms, on stage and on the playing fields.
We offer robust arts and athletic programs, time-honored traditions and a wide variety of clubs and activities. Unlike many schools, we don’t expect students to choose just one interest — we encourage them to explore everything.
In and out of the classroom, we believe in building community, developing sportsmanship and responsible citizenship, and supporting each other's well-being. Our mission remains "to give symmetrical development to mind, body and character."

Since 2015, 45 Barstow athletes have earned All State honors, and many go on to play at the college level.

Barstow Beyond the Classroom
From lower school through graduation, our students participate in dozens of clubs for fun and service, and they love participating in “only at Barstow” traditions, some that date back more than a century.Read More
School Counseling
School counselors are an important part of the Barstow community. Our counseling program supports student success and social-emotional learning in kindergarten through grade 12.
Two certified school counselors help students understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, develop empathy for others and establish positive relationships. Counselors develop relationships with students through classroom visits, weekly check-ins and videos. They provide resources for parents through Character Corner, their weekly blog.
Upper School Student
From Our Counselors
During uncertain times, anxiety can increase or arise in our children and in ourselves. When your children ask questions about a disaster or crisis in the news, not knowing how to answer can be difficult. We've developed resources for families to help guide these conversations. They each recommend a few basic, but important steps: take the time to talk, to listen and to reassure.
