Established in 1946 and situated on 520 acres in the resort town of Ojai, California, our residential community offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum with a cornerstone of creative expression and divergent thinking for grades 9-12 and PG. Besant Hill School offers over 20 art electives, AP level courses, competitive athletics, travel and experiential education programs, small class sizes, a 4:1 student teacher ratio and a student body of 100 students from 15 foreign countries and 10 states. Our motto of "Aún Aprendo" reflects our belief that life can be lived in its fullest sense through lifelong efforts towards personal development and growth. We believe we are a model for the way education should occur, where students are taught how to think, not what to think, where our land is a laboratory for a sustainable planet, where rules are replaced with values and principles developed by all of us, where the arts are a foundation for our belief that creative expression is as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. We are a school that believes that life isn't about finding yourself — it's about creating yourself.

贝赛特山中学成立于1946年，位于加利福尼亚的度假胜地——欧海镇，校园占地面积达520英亩。我校为9到12和PG（指学生高中毕业后不直接考取大学，而是在校另外学习准备一年）年级的学生提供寄宿教育项目，并以创造性表达和发散思维为基础、开设了一套严谨的大学预科课程。我校为学生开设了20余门艺术选修课、AP课程以及竞技体育、旅行和实验教育项目。此外，我校还坚持小班教学，师生比例为1:4，并招收了来自15个国家和美国10个州的100名学生。我校校训“Aún Aprendo”反映出了我们的信念“通过对个人成长与进步的不懈追求，生活的意义才能发挥得淋漓尽致”。我们相信，我们为教育模式树立了典范，在这里，我们教育着学生如何思考而不是思考什么；在这里，我们的校园资源管理始终坚持可持续发展策略；在这里，艺术追求是我们信念的基础，创造性表达与阅读、写作和数学同样重要。我们相信生活不在于找寻自己，而在于创造自己。
