Bedford School is een toonaangevende onafhankelijke kostschool en dagschool voor jongens van 7 tot 18 jaar, gelegen op een prachtig landgoed van 20 hectare in het hart van Bedford, een historische stad op minder dan 40 minuten met de trein van Londen en gemakkelijk bereikbaar vanaf luchthaven Heathrow. Het succes van de school blijkt uit een lange geschiedenis van indrukwekkende examenresultaten op GCSE-niveau, A-level en het International Baccalaureate Diploma. In 2020 ging maar liefst 87% van de jongens van Bedford School naar universiteiten van de Russell Group of Times Top 30, waaronder Oxford en Cambridge.<\/p>\n
Voor kostgangers (9-18 jaar) bieden de internaten van de school een echt 'thuis ver van huis', waar elke jongen zich thuis voelt. In de internaten zorgen de huismeester en persoonlijke mentor van elke jongen ervoor dat zijn leven in Bedford gelukkig en succesvol is.<\/p>\n
Gedurende hun hele loopbaan op de Bedford School komen jongens tot bloei: academisch, als sporters, als kunstenaars en bovenal als zichzelf, en ontwikkelen ze zelfvertrouwen in wie ze zijn. En als de tijd rijp is, verlaten ze de school als goede mannen, overtuigd van hun waarden, gelukkig en in staat om zich in elk gezelschap staande te houden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Bedford Curriculum, extending well beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum, is structured to provide a balanced and varied choice of subjects, which will cater towards the individual boy\u2019s strengths. We challenge our boys to develop their intellectual curiosity, to ask questions, to broaden their knowledge and intellect, and to be aware of the world beyond the school. We support them in their endeavour to develop informed opinions and independent minds; whilst also equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to realise their personal ambitions and aspirations. Each boy is encouraged to add value to their academic credentials during their time with us and, to this end, we consistently encourage them to exceed their expectations.<\/p>","extra_curricula_description":"
The arts thrive at Bedford School and boys can get involved in a full and varied programme of Music, Art and Drama. In sport, boys are encouraged to take an interest, whatever their level of ability, for the self-motivation, camaraderie and teamwork it encourages and develops. Boys can also take part in a wide range of creative, sporting, academic and general interest extracurricular clubs and activities. We actively encourage all boys to participate in a new activity each term when they join us.<\/p>","accommodation_description":"","day_school_min_yearly_fee_in_usd":"27669","cost_description_day_students":"","boarding_school_min_yearly_fee_in_usd":"40585","cost_description_boarding_students":"","accreditations":"HMC,
