Besant Hill School

It is ranked #9 in California and #73 nationally among the best boarding high schools.

Nice location with peaceful environment

My son joined the school as a boarding freshman from China. It is a small school where each kid get more attention from faculties in both educational guidance and living care. Three trips per week for kids to access different areas of great LA and shopping, food, etc. A rarely beautiful campus with great scenes and animals. Happy valley happy school!

My son, now a grade 11 student, attended Besant Hill School in 2024. Situated in the beautiful and safe city of Ojai, Besant Hill School has provided an exceptional educational experience. The teachers and staff are not only dedicated to academic growth but also supportive in daily life, fostering a nurturing environment. Moreover, the school's dining facilities offer delicious meals, often praised by my son as among the best in the US. Additionally, the school organizes a variety of weekend activities, including visits to museums, skiing trips, and city tours, which enhance the students' overall experience. Besant Hill School truly excels in providing a well-rounded education and a vibrant community culture.
