Barons School is an alternative public school for Low-German Speaking Mennonite students in pre-kindergarten to Grade 6. We prioritize high quality teaching to support learning for all students. Equally as important, are building strong and caring relationships with students and their families. The staff at Barons School are committed to creating an environment where each student’s thrive and the curriculum taught supports the Low-German Speaking Mennonite faith, language, and world views that parents have identified as an important part of their children’s education.
