As parents I know that you will be keen for your son or daughter to secure their full potential in terms of academic results.  Bethany has an excellent track record in this respect.  In addition, I am sure that you will be looking for a school which offers an exciting and varied programme of extra-curricular activities.  Yet again, Bethany has an enviable reputation in this area.  However, we believe that these goals can only be achieved when students are given the opportunity to play to their strengths, rather than being forced into a mould.

At Bethany, whilst your son or daughter would be encouraged and supported, we still teach the importance of participating fully in a community.  Most of all, we want your child to be happy, because happy students are confident and successful.  School should be enjoyed rather than endured.  It is the atmosphere of positive nurturing and encouragement which makes Bethany "refreshingly different".

Bethany is a strong, thriving school set in a beautiful 60 acre site in the heart of the Weald of Kent.  Recent years have seen an enviable building programme and boarding and day numbers are flourishing.  However, the Governors are committed to maintaining the benefits which stem from being a relatively small independent school.

As you browse through our website, I hope you will start to capture the very special atmosphere of Bethany School and that you will want to come and see for yourself the exciting and unique opportunities we offer.
