The mission of Besant Hill School is the development of each individual's intellectual and artistic abilities. Through awakening the spirit of inquiry, we encourage each student to pursue integrity and excellence. Our non-competitive community builds honesty, respect, compassion and responsibility. Our goal is to develop a lifelong habit of learning as embodied in our school's motto Aśn Aprendo, I am still learning.
Our mission is achieved through:
- a vigorous college-preparatory program
- a school of no more than one hundred students with small classes
- a community that values both formal and informal mentoring
- an integrated international student program
- a nurturing residential program with full-time staff
- outdoor education and athletic activities
- a human development program
- an appreciation for nature with respect, compassion and responsibility for all forms of life
- fostering a sense of appreciation for the worldviews, arts, and histories of diverse cultures
- creating a community that celebrates individual backgrounds and beliefs
