BOX HILL SCHOOL

At Box Hill School, education is holistic, with focus on the individual and the development of character. As a founder member of Round Square, a worldwide association of schools on a mission to prepare students for life, the school promotes international understanding, democracy, care for the world around us, a sense of adventure, leadership and service. Multiple academic programmes are offered.

These include a balanced and varied lower school curriculum, 2-year GCSE course and our 1-year intensive GCSE course. Students then have the choice of either A Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) in the Sixth Form.

Box Hill School students gain strong academic results, with grades well above national averages. A Level and IB students achieve places at highly regarded universities, many in the Russell group of institutions such as Cardiff University, the University of Exeter, the University of Nottingham, UCL and many more, including in international institutes.

To help prepare students for these next steps, dedicated careers advice along with university visits and other tailored activities helps to guide them through the process of making higher education choices.

At Box Hill School, students have a large, happy ‘home away from home’ boarding environment to encourage them. Here students thrive while under the supervision of dedicated house parents and personal tutors.

Excellent pastoral care ensures every student here feels seen, valued and cared for. This starts from the very first day.

One example is Anne, a Swiss-French national who said teachers were “extremely supportive,” which gave her the confidence to push herself, both academically and socially. So much so, that she successfully applied for and was successful in being selected for the prestigious role of Deputy Head Girl. Asked to list the top three skills she’s gained here, she says, “Resilience, self-awareness and overcoming my fears.”
