A great school in a beautiful setting, this school has been a blessing for my daughter. She's not fond of being away from home but understands her education is very important. Besant Hill is providing her with the structure she needs to do well. As a result she feels better about herself, is beginning to enjoy the challenging work and enjoys a new level of independent thinking.

Besant Hill School has been the greatest gift to my daughter on many levels. It has given her a place where she feels included and celebrated as a unique individual. She has learned how to live in community and be a positive contributor to something greater than her individual self while being safe and seen for who she is. This school has changed the course of her life.

This is a GREAT school for our son, who is very bright, quite creative, highly social and not so organized. At "traditional" schools, his talents were not appreciated or even recognized, while his weakness was constantly highlighted. At Besant Hill, they work very hard to leverage a student's strengths while working around their weaknesses. This is having a great impact on our son's self confidence as a person and as a student. Besant Hill is small, but don't think for a minute that they are not 100% serious about providing a great college-prep education -- they are! The staff is highly dedicated -- simply the best! Parents are not as involved yet as could be, partially because many live pretty far away and because the school has not focused on this aspect . Prediction: this school will soon be discovered as an example of "how to do it right".

This school is amazing and its just right for my daughter! Happy Valley seems to balance academics with students creativity and artistic interests perfectly. There are small class sizes, wonderful teachers, a beautiful campus on 450 acres! what more could you ask for! My daughter learns and grows so much everday and she always comes home with a huge smile on her face!
