The Somersfield Impact Not only do our students excel academically at the global level, they become dynamic contributors to Bermuda’s workforce. Our students embrace diversity and promote social justice, priming them to lead both locally and globally. This is useful for the future of our students, Bermuda and the world. All areas of Bermuda benefit from our dedication to community service and making change for good. More of Bermuda’s children have access to a Somersfield education because we are committed to providing bursaries and scholarships. Since we opened the doors of our school, our donor support has ensured this remains a priority. Our commitment to diversity now reaches more deeply into the broader community. Somersfield Academy has been engaged in diversity work since its inception. We are committed to building upon what we have always deemed important and that is to provide an inclusive and equitable school environment for our students, regardless of race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, or any other aspect of their identity. Our students are becoming diversity leaders and our annual diversity workshops involve many from outside of Somersfield. We are committed to sharing the benefits of a Somersfield education with more of Bermuda’s children over the long-term. We continue to build partnerships with other Bermuda schools, and to open our unique clubs and courses to all Bermuda students during school breaks. We know our approach is markedly different. Montessori and IB programmes encourage students to think independently and drive their own learning. They cultivate cultural awareness and the ability to engage and adapt in our increasingly globalised, rapidly changing world. This is sure to produce dynamic future leaders who will steward Bermuda responsibly.
“I think that the IB Diploma Programme is a really exciting new chapter for Somersfield and I am very jealous of all of the students who will get to take part in it. I wish I could have been there. Somersfield is the biggest reason for why I am where I am today.”
