Tuition & Fees

The Value of a Barnesville Education

For a parent, no investment could be as significant as their child’s education. We understand that you’re interested in more than the cost of private school: you want to see what value you can expect.
 
To us, value means providing unique and unparalleled learning opportunities that spark creativity and encourage a genuine love for learning. Partnering with local art, science, and educational organizations, we collaborate with our community in a way that gives students hands-on, real-world learning experiences that complement our cross-curricular program.
