Mission

St. Barnabas School is a Catholic Independence Mission School dedicated to providing a climate of academic excellence within a safe environment that respects the diversity of each and every student. The curriculum, the values, and the goals of St. Barnabas School aim at developing the whole child, and are rooted in belief in God and in the Catholic Church.

Points Of Pride

We are proud to be a part of the Independence Mission School network. Our school is successful in part due to the high level of parent engagement. Our school community successfully participates in: First in Math, Read Across America, the St. Cyril's Academic Challenge, Connelly Access Program, and English as a Second Language courses for adults. St. Barnabas is also honored to have received the American Legion Award, Bob Brady Congressional Award, The Presidential Award for Education (Academic Excellence and Academic Achievement), and Connelly Achievement Award.

Admissions Policy

We accept applications for Grades Pre-K to 8 at any time of the school year. The application fee is $10 per student. Most of our families re-enroll for the next school year, so limited space is available in most classes. Don't miss out: complete your application online today!
