Here are a few of the great things that parents are saying about Barnstable Academy:
(Note: if you'd prefer to hear them for yourself, please view our video testimonials.)
My son Zachary entered Barnstable Academy at the end of 8th grade and is currently a Sophomore. As a parent and a teacher, I cannot fully express how grateful I am to have found Barnstable for my son. I have seen a boy whose confidence plummeted to an all time low, skyrocket to where he accepts nothing less for himself than a place on the honor roll every semester. Students are treated with kindness and respect as individuals by every teacher and are encouraged to pursue their interests and dreams. Success oriented, Barnstable Academy prepares kids not only for college level academics but for becoming responsible and caring adults.

Barnstable Academy changed our lives! My daughter went from being afraid to go to school to not being able to wait to get there every day. The teachers, students and everyone at Barnstable were so accepting. She is now a senior and is thriving. Involved in all social activities including their wonderful performing arts program. Can't say enough good things!

"Providing such a small class environment would benefit any child. I particularly like the communication between faculty and myself. Mr. Wolk is quite personable and extremely caring of my concerns."

"Drew has thrived under the nurturing care of Barnstable. He has consistently made honor roll from his first year in your school, which has made his confidence soar. This has allowed his health to improve greatly along with his social life. We could not imagine life without Barnstable Academy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Max actually likes school. A year ago, the local public school wanted to put him in classes for "slow" children. At Barnstable, he is working hard, learning, and excelling. I nearly fainted with happiness when I saw his name on the High Honor Roll!"
