Yay! I can't believe I'm the first to yelp OS! Oldfields was my second home for 3 full adolescent…read moreyears. And some of my life's best moments happened there. It's one of the best boarding schools to grow up in, hands down!! The faculty were amazing. They were like family and they took care of us like they really cared. The campus is beautiful. Sure, it's far from civilization(45 min from Baltimore) but it was the warmest place on earth to me(other than home)!! Who would have thought a highschool could feel so safe. I swear not having guys around every single day made teenage life much easier and toned down teen drama I saw at other schools by lots!! If I had a daughter, I would send her here in a heart beat. I'm proud of being an O.S. girl. :) 11 stars for you and the brave young ladies you foster!!

My children are challenged academically and they are nurtured spiritually. I am impressed with the strong moral foundation and the values instilled in each class, from the Pre-K through the 8th-grade, and I love that the focus on S.T.E.M. and technology development does not come at the expense of a classical liberal arts education. My kids develop strong reading and writing skills and participate in an arts program that is head and shoulders above what the public schools offer. We are not a wealthy family, but thanks to generous financial aid we are able to give our children this experience. Highly recommend!

My family has deep roots at Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences. My now 33-year-old son attended…read morefrom 2nd through 8th grade, and today my 12-year-old grandson is a student there. We also enrolled three additional children just last year. Having experienced the school across generations, I can say with confidence that Barnesville has remained true to something very special. I have been so impressed with Barnesville's ability to preserve its unique character while continuing to grow and evolve. In a time when so many schools feel increasingly standardized, Barnesville still feels deeply personal, intentional, and rooted in a genuine love of learning and childhood. There is a warmth to the community that is hard to describe but immediately felt. The teachers truly know and care about each child--not just academically, but as whole individuals. That kind of attention creates confident, curious, and kind students. What stands out most to me is the balance the school achieves: strong academics paired with creativity, structure alongside freedom, and a respect for tradition without feeling outdated. It is rare to find a place that nurtures both the intellect and the spirit of a child so thoughtfully. For our family, Barnesville is more than a school--it's part of our story. We are incredibly grateful to be back and to see the same values and magic still alive for the next generation.

Teacher turnover is high. Administration lacks experience and is not professional…read more Academics are lacking. We were there from 4th -8th. If had it to do over again definitely not ok for middle school. One middle school teacher never graded work and when asked handed me a folder of four papers nothing graded. They let in many kids with issues without having the proper counseling. Language teachers were some of the worst my child ever had.
