Barcly Gardens

Our children have been at BMS for the past 6 years. We have been so happy with our experience at BMS. The teachers tend to stay at BMS for many years. We love the continuity of care where children stay with their teachers for 3 years in each of the age settings (early education, lower elem, upper elem). We also greatly appreciate the ways that they incorporate social-emotional learning into the curriculum. We also greatly prize the Our Whole Lives sexuality education curriculum, which provides age- and developmentally-appropriate information related to topics like bodies, puberty, and reproduction beginning in lower elementary (1st grade on up). Having been at BMS for many years now, we also love seeing how they scaffold skills and encourage increasing amounts of independents, incrementally over the years. There are also lots of opportunities for parents to get involved with the school, if they want to.
