At The Barrett School at Destin, we weave the bold connection between nature and the digital frontier into the fabric of our educational philosophy. Our mission is to cultivate a diverse community of learners, from Pre K through 12th grade, by harnessing the power of hands-on STEM education, integrated with play theory and the boundless classroom of the outdoors. Embracing both atypical and neurotypical students, we commit to nurturing curious, innovative and empathetic minds prepared to thrive in both the natural world and the technological landscape. Through cutting-edge robotics, immersive VR experiences, comprehensive science labs, and coding, alongside profound outdoor adventures and therapies, we aim to inspire students to discover their passions, embrace creativity, and lead with a deep sense of environmental stewardship and technological savvy.
