Experiential Learning
We believe boarding school offers the unique opportunity to enhance and expand the learning environment. Experiential Learning is a practice that engages Besant Hill School students in active, hands-on learning, integrating curricular goals with practical and consequential real-life experiences. This educational approach begins in the classroom, expands to the community, and eventually takes the learning process into the world at large.

Sustainability Education
The intention of sustainability education can be summed up with the term Ecological Literacy. Incorporating ecological literacy is an integral part of the Besant Hill School college preparatory program and educational process. We believe this program ensures our students will develop a critical understanding and appreciation of the natural systems that support life on Earth. An ecologically literate student is solution-oriented and has a developing awareness of the ways in which we are all connected to the world around us, to each other, and to those who will come after us.
