Our Mission is to educate the whole student within a Christian context of spiritual, social, mental and physical development. As a ministry of God, we exist to help students cultivate a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, to discover and encourage their gifts and to inspire each student to realize his or her full potential in serving God in spirit and in truth

Some lessons are best learned by experiencing them.

Barnes Academy gives students opportunities to travel, explore new places, experience different cultures, and connect what they learn in the classroom with the real world.

Our students have traveled throughout Georgia and to destinations including Washington, D.C., Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Alabama, the Grand Canyon, and more.

From educational destinations and cultural experiences to restaurants, museums, performances, and national landmarks, these trips expose students to opportunities they may not otherwise experience.

We want our students to see more, experience more, and dream bigger.

Opportunities Beyond the Classroom

Students need more than academics to grow.

Barnes Academy provides opportunities for students to discover new interests, build relationships, develop confidence, and learn valuable life skills.

Our student experiences include:

• Volleyball
• Basketball
• Cheerleading
• Soccer
• Band
• Art
• Music
• Book Club
• Student House System
• Educational Trips & Travel
• Community Service & Missions
• College & Career Exploration

Through these experiences, students learn teamwork, leadership, responsibility, character, good manners, and how to interact confidently with the world around them.

We believe that each child is unique, and we are dedicated to encourage each student to achieve his/her full potential. Our approach to teaching is varied and challenging to the children to question, investigate, and search for solutions to draw conclusions. Barnes Academy offers a balanced curriculum that develops the social, intellectual, physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of each child. We are committed to the total development of each student. We strive to meet academic, social and spiritual needs. Partnering with parents, we will do all we can to contribute to the enlightenment, health and wholeness of every child. We seek to promote Christian values in academics and extracurricular activates. By incorporating Christian principles in our curriculum, we seek to teach the students that Christ is essential in all meaningful learning and relevant for daily living. We view education as a foundation for lifelong learning. Our curriculum is designed to prepare our students for entrance into college. We provide a quality education in a Christian environment to help our students cope successfully with the challenges of our modern-day society as well as the challenges of higher education.

Our purpose is to build up, to encourage, and to equip each student to become educated Christian leaders, both in present living and in future vocations. The Barnes Academy promotes high academic and moral standards where creativity is valued, positive faith is practiced, positive attitudes developed and where Christian values are nurtured. It is also a school where every teacher, staff member, volunteer, and student practices positive Christian morals. Barnes Academy is a school where love abounds, self-esteem is nurtured, grace is found, and where Jesus Christ is honored as Lord and Savior.
