Barnabas School of Leadership

Mission and Vision

The Barnabas School of Leadership’s mission is to create a school learning environment, a culture and climate that fosters high achievement, academic success, and a sense of confidence in our students. The Barnabas School of Leadership re-imagines our student’s experiences to instill a sense of agency or control of their academic, professional, and personal lives. The Barnabas School of Leadership student is confident in their ability to succeed in the classroom and to become self-directed, independent thinkers, add value to themselves and to the larger society. The Barnabas School of Leadership establishes a social, educational, and moral contract with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and other community stakeholders that hold all parties not only responsible but also committed to the success of each student.

The Barnabas School of Leadership envisions each student becoming “leaders of themselves.” Students evolve from being simply passive vessels of teacher-led instruction and enter into an active partnership with their teachers, administrators, parents, and their fellow students. Students embrace the concept that their present and future resides within themselves. 10 Each student eventually understands that they play a key, decisive role in their present and future success. The Barnabas School of Leadership’s Values are Perseverance, Self-Discipline, Total Commitment and Service to Others. BSL accomplishes its Vision through the implementation of different educational models and structure that emphasizes equity. Our school will allocate instructional resources, attention, and human capital according to academic and social needs. Our school instills in students a sense of the achievable instead of only the possible. The Barnabas School of Leadership engages individuals and institutions within the City of Dothan and beyond to deepen and broaden levers of success to support, motivate and elevate students to realize their dreams of success as citizens of an ever-changing world.
