Education/Training

At Besant Hill School we believe in thinking differently; we honor the individual and the synergy that the members of our school create to form our unique academic community. We are so fortunate that our campus is set in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Equally distinctive are the outstanding students, teachers, and alumni who make up our community, and the academic and artistic experience that we all share as members of this school family.Here, students will discover that education today must look forward and prepare you to not only have the raw intellect to compete in the job market, but also the creative abilities to apply those basic skills. At Besant Hill, a foundation is established where students can be creative not only in the traditional artistic sense, but also in their ability to be solution oriented; they will learn to move through obstacles as leaders with insight to viable solutions throughout their life at the school and beyond. Education should, of course, teach the fundamentals of each subject area, but of equal importance is doing so in an environment that fosters the application of this knowledge to potential scenarios we may face.How does Besant Hill do this? We place importance on the time-honored subjects within the liberal arts and sciences and strive for the application of these traditional subject areas as the next evolution of education for the 21st century. Our goal at Besant Hill is to break away from the traditional objectives of education and create an environment where students will acquire the critical thinking skills required to solve the challenges of the world fifty plus years from now. This is reflected in our school motto "Aun Aprendo" which means "I am still learning."Contact us to schedule a campus visit during the year. You can sit in on a class, talk to current students and faculty, meet with our admissions and financial aid counselors, and begin to understand why we are so special.
