In 1958, the Barbereux School moved out of its humble first home in an Evanston storefront and into its current location. Tucked away in far northwestern Evanston, the school is a quiet oasis on a leafy street and looks comfortable amidst the residential homes. The large yard outside the school is filled with toys and different sorts of playground equipment, clearly marking the school's focus on play as an element of learning.
From its origins as a small, local music school, Barbereux has expanded to become one of Evanston's premier educational institutions.
