Thank you for your interest in Besant Hill School.
Besant Hill School students in studio art classes examine content and style by studying history and culture as tools to uncover deeper meaning. Students study with educators who are also practicing artists and creative professionals. We instill confidence in students, so they can find their unique voice, and we teach how to apply this voice through vision and form. In-depth portfolio guidance is available for students who plan to apply to art schools and colleges.

The Besant Hill School and Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts support a long tradition of ceramic artwork. Students create functional work and sculpture through the application of a variety of hand building techniques, wheel throwing techniques, and glazed finishes. Ceramicists-in-residence at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts provide students with masterclass opportunities to learn foundations and advanced techniques directly from the artist.

Director of Academics & Advanced Studio Arts Teacher
“The Besant Hill School community provides a collaborative, inspiring environment for students to embrace their passions and unlock unimaginable potential.”
Arts Chair & Performing Arts Teacher
“I love the fact that we actually live our motto; Aún Aprendo is in everything we do with our entire community. We encourage each other to try new things, and mistakes are never failures, because we are all still learning.”
Digital Arts Teacher
“I believe that learning fuels life and curiosity fuels learning. Besant Hill’s mission and environment encourage students and teachers of distinct backgrounds to learn, explore and create together.”
Music Teacher
“I’ve always considered music an opportunity to check one’s troubles at the door, be immersed in the moment, then emerge refreshed, and with new perspective. It’s my goal as a teacher of music to provide students with the skills to avail themselves of the opportunity to reproduce this experience for a lifetime of artistic fulfillment, satisfaction, and joy.“
Studio Arts Teacher
“Every one of us is a creative being and cultivating that discovery is at the heart of what I teach.”
