Mission 

The Barkhamsted Elementary School is a place of learning where teachers, administrators, parents, and the local community work together to ensure that every learner acquires the knowledge and skills that are the foundation of continuous growth and intellectual curiosity. In pursuit of this mission, we believe that:

-Engagement and active learning ensures student achievement.

-Our ultimate measures of success must encompass academic, civic, social, physical, creative, and emotional development.

-All student abilities, talents, and learning styles should be recognized, respected, and nurtured in an environment that encourages a love of learning.

-Meeting rigorous academic, personal, and social standards is expected and is everyone’s responsibility.
