Barat Academy Alumni Association

Barat Academy will pause in-person school operations for the 2023-24 academic year. The decision affects 20 local students. Barat Academy's focus will shift to expanding innovative global education on its foundation of 10 years of educating international students.

Barat Academy's decade of experience in delivering both in-person and virtual education to students all over the world gives Barat a jumpstart on strategies for success as the school expands services to international students and extends the benefits to a greater array of U.S. students, including nontraditional learners.

Since opening with its first freshman class in 2007, Barat Academy has graduated 477 students. At the end of this school year, Barat Academy will have awarded about 160 – or about one-third – of its total high school diplomas to international students. The growing demand for innovative global education is reflected in Barat Academy’s success in attracting students from Europe, Asia and Central America.

Barat Academy’s unique teaching and learning model is a key differentiator. Barat Academy is rooted in the traditions of the Sacred Heart. It was named for St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, who established the Society of the Sacred Heart Catholic religious congregation in 1800 to reveal the love of God in the world. Its educational approach fosters the worth of each student’s intellect and the importance of creating caring citizens who are lifelong learners.

School leaders and staff are working with parents to facilitate local students’ consideration of other options for the next academic year to ensure current students in Chesterfield sustain their educational progress as the school prepares to meet strong demand for innovative global education among both U.S. and international students.

Barat Academy has the distinct pleasure of being awarded the 2021 Best of Chesterfield in the category of education by the Chesterfield Awards Program!

Thank you so much to students, parents, alumni and staff for making Barat Academy an amazing place for everyone to love, learn, serve, build, and grow!
