BACK TO SCHOOL Bermuda High School Helps Girls Find Their Inner Voice us about Bermuda High School for Girls Q : Tell and its Philosophy. A: Currently celebrating its 120th year, The Bermuda High School is an all-girls school in the Primary and Secondary Departments (Years 1-11) and co-educational for the final two years (Years 12 & 13), which follow the IB curriculum and result in the award of the IB Diploma or certificate. The BHS experience offers inspiration by promoting intel- lectual curiosity, and both creative and critical thinking, while encouraging communication and collaboration. We aim to make each student successful in their own right. We acknowledge that students excel at many different levels, in a wide variety of areas and our programme enables students to reach their full individual potential, within the highest international standards (IGCSE and IB). We develop leaders by cultivating reflective, resourceful students, ready to take calculated risks as well as responsibility – for their own lives and for enriching the lives of others. In short, BHS focuses on developing a successful and balanced learner – all in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. By Jennifer Burland-Adams Director of Advancement 44
