The focus of the residential boarding program is to encourage an atmosphere that supports the academic, creative and personal growth of each student within the framework of a healthy community. Achieving this balance requires the effort and good will of all of us who live closely together in the community of the school.

Much of the magic of Besant Hill happens in the relaxed relationship of students and staff outside of the formal class setting. The close relationships between students and staff are the richest rewards of boarding school life at BHS, for both students and teachers, and add to the already challenging academic environment in the classroom.
