“As a science lover, I really appreciated that. When I studied there, a few of us asked for environmental class and physics class to be added to our calendars and the school made it happen.”

Safe Learning Community
A multitude of possibilities are born in our community of respect. Trust is the foundation of interactions at our school, and this leads to students taking risks, being stretched beyond their comfort zone, and engaging in many new activities, all while learning more than they ever expected. Before graduating from Besant Hill, students will learn a new language, travel to different countries, visit museums, interact with non-profit organizations, and learn about the condition of our planet and the intricacies of world politics. Almost any curiosity for learning can be satisfied at our school.
“It is such a diverse environment which allows me to have friends from all over the world which is super cool. I’m very happy I ended up coming here.”

Student-Driven Learning Process
On our campus, learning happens differently than at most schools. Besant Hill is not a traditional learning environment, as the average class size is ten students, teachers go by their first names, and every adult is aware of how each student is best able to learn. Classes are designed with all types of learning styles in mind. Teachers use the profiles of each student to ensure that lessons are designed with the versatility to incorporate a diversity of instruction so that all students reach their maximum potential.
