BHS offers an education like no other Welcome
A
s an alumna, it is my privilege to serve as Head of School, and I am proud, every day of our students, staff and alumni. From the very first day of school, BHS students join a community like no other, learning from dedicated teachers with an unrivalled understanding and deep experience in educating girls. Throughout their time at BHS, students explore their passions and take risks in an environment purposefully constructed to support and challenge girls. They have role models in the older girls, and, over time, they will strengthen their own voices and step capably and confidently into leadership roles throughout the BHS community, and beyond. Our aim at BHS is that all students leave with the qualifications, the depth of knowledge, the self- assurance, the personal qualities, the flexibility and the resilience that will take them wherever they want to go. Moreover, we hope that they develop warm friendships and gather cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Responding to the need both locally and globally for more girls to study Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, combined with the skills gained from a strong Arts Programme, we have raised, with your help, more than 10 and a half million dollars to enable us to build a state-of-the-art Innovation Centre, and create an Arts Wing at the School. We are not quite done. In addition to our aim to provide the best learning opportunities, in a state-of-the-art building, we are also looking at how to make our school campus more inclusive and accessible. The addition of an elevator in the Innovation Centre will enable a mobility-compromised person to access 80% of classrooms and learning spaces, including buildings that are more than 100 years old.
As a school, we are continuously looking at how we can best prepare all of our students for successful futures, no matter what they study at university or what careers they may pursue. BHS has always been a forward-thinking school: the only all-girls’ school, the first and most experienced IB World school and the only Round Square school in Bermuda. With a legacy of almost 125 years, we consistently inspire excellence and leadership in our students. We are excited about this next chapter and look forward to sharing it with you. You can read all about the new Innovation Centre on pages 18-19 and we encourage you to go to

We hope you enjoy this Spring issue of the Torchbearer magazine.
