Do you have a child entering kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year? Are you interested in enrolling your child in Barrington 220's innovative Kindergarten Lab Program at Barrington High School? 

The K-Lab includes two specially designed kindergarten classes inside BHS. The classrooms are connected by an observation lab for high school students enrolled in early childhood education classes.

Thanks to its location at BHS, students enrolled in the K-Lab Program can engage in unique experiential learning opportunities throughout their school day. Some of these opportunities include horticulture activities inside the BHS greenhouse, authentic learning experiences inside the new state-of-the-art culinary arts lab, musical instrument exploration with high school band and orchestra students, and cultural celebrations with BHS world language students. K-Lab students also have the opportunity to learn from supervised and supported high school mentors. This ranges from support in developing core skills with personalized instruction to hands-on experiences.

Superintendent

"I believe Barrington 220 is truly an amazing school district. I have worked in several positions in D220, which has afforded me a unique perspective of the ways that students learn and grow within our different school communities. I have also experienced firsthand my own children thriving as students and benefitting from all that Barrington 220 has to offer. As Superintendent of Schools, I look forward to building upon our strong academic programs and rich innovation history as we implement our Framework 220 Strategic Plan."

    Barrington 220 is a place where students establish the fundamentals to forge their own paths. We read, write, think, discuss, and create. As a current faculty member and proud graduate of Countryside, Prairie, and BHS, I look forward to working with students every day to create the next generation of thinkers, learners, and creators. There's nowhere else I'd rather teach. I'm proud to work in Barrington 220 and I'm glad you're here.Cary WaxlerBHS Social Studies Teacher

    Barrington 220 has done a great job with building avenues for us to explore. For example, there's choir, band and orchestra to explore the fine arts. There's robotics club, scholastic bowl, speech tournament, spelling bee. You can learn about languages, you can learn about cultures, you can learn about different types of people in general. Zar RomanBHS Student

    I love how Barrington 220 schools offer a bunch of unique opportunities such as the Spanish Dual Language Program, which I am fortunate to be a part of. It's such an eye-opening experience and when you get older it's almost a sense of biculturalism, which I think is very awesome to be a part of.Emerson WulbeckerBHS student
