Our beautiful 30-acre campus in Montgomery County's Agricultural
Reserve is our extended classroom, enabling us to integrate NATURE
into our everyday learning.
Barnesville is certified as a Maryland Green School by the Maryland Association for
Environmental and Outdoor Education, demonstrating achievement in curriculum and
instruction, community partnerships, and best management practices.
Natural environments including green spaces provide children with
unique opportunities such as inciting engagement, risk taking, discovery,
creativity, mastery and control, strengthening sense of self, inspiring basic
emotional states including sense of wonder, and enhancing psychological
restoration.
