Summary

Beech Grove School is an independent boarding school located in Nonington, Kent, catering to children aged 4 to 18. It operates under the principles of the Bruderhof community, which emphasises the belief that every child is a unique creation of God. The school aims to nurture each child's inherent potential through a holistic education that integrates academic learning with character development and community service.

The curriculum at Beech Grove focuses on rigorous academic instruction in core subjects such as language arts, history, maths, and science, complemented by a range of co-curricular activities. Small class sizes allow for personalised attention, fostering a love of learning and encouraging students to engage with their education actively. The school also prioritises experiential learning through activities like craftsmanship, arts, and community service, helping students develop practical skills and compassion for others.

As part of the Bruderhof community, students participate in the religious life and values of the community, which includes involvement in festivals and service projects. This integrated approach not only supports academic growth but also instils a sense of responsibility and connection to the wider community.
