"BHS is a place where you can be yourself. No matter who you are, everyone becomes friends. You're not an outcast EVER. It's a place where teachers aren't JUST your teachers - you build relationships with them. You begin to think of them as good friends rather than teachers ...
It’s not just a school—it’s a community..."

Lily Jensen- BHS '10

A Message from the Assistant Head of School

In addition to being an exceptional college-preparatory school, Besant Hill School is a wonderful place to live and learn. Student life at Besant Hill is full of opportunities to enjoy close friendships and discover leadership potential.

Through a co-curricular agenda that encourages participation in student government, athletics, visual and fine arts, music and drama, our students are taught self-reliance, social skills, and responsibility in a supportive and caring environment. The focus of the Besant Hill School residential boarding program is to encourage an atmosphere that supports the academic, creative and personal growth of each student.

All of our programs are designed to help students develop their skills in interpersonal communication and conflict management while always supporting their personal integrity. In essence, our students are preparing for their futures as citizens of the global community.
