Within a framework of Universal Design, our teachers employ best practices in the classroom through the use of Socratic Method, Mastery Teaching, Project Based Learning, and Cooperative Learning, as just a few examples. We value and encourage creativity and a creative mindset in all classes, teaching how to think, not what to think. Academic classes, including art and physical education, are all valued equally in the pursuit of educating the whole person.

At Besant Hill School, the learning community embraces our motto, Aún Aprendo. To that end, we offer a curriculum that inspires students while demanding excellence and their best effort.  We offer honors and AP classes in the sophomore, junior, and senior years. We teach students to use their knowledge to become thoughtful, ethical members of the world community. We truly believe the academic experience offered at Besant Hill is unparalleled.
