Box Hill School

About the School

Box Hill School has a long heritage of delivering first-class learning in a warm, supportive, holistic and nurturing atmosphere. For nearly sixty years we have proudly remained a truly independent school.

As a proud founder member of Round Square, we embrace the educational philosophy of Kurt Hahn. Round Square’s pillars – Internationalism, Democracy, Environmental concern, Adventure, Leadership, and Service (IDEALS) – are central to our educational approach.

We provide a holistic education, helping students find identity, meaning, and purpose through connections to the community, the natural world, and humanitarian values. This is achieved through a wide range of activities, including sports, creative arts, service, outward bound pursuits, and democratic participation, alongside academic learning. We aim to be the first choice for those who understand that education is about growing the whole child.

Round Square

Round Square is a global association of schools preparing students for life beyond education, offering experiences that demand courage, generosity, imagination, principle, and resolution.

Opportunities with Round Square:

• Service Projects: Our students have participated in service projects in South Africa, partnering with the Good Work Foundation.
• Student Exchanges: We offer student exchanges within our international Round Square network, primarily for Year 10 and Year 12 students.
