Our Mission Statement
Belmont Hill School educates boys in mind, body, and spirit to develop men of good character.
Our community encourages and challenges students to discover and pursue passions, seek excellence, and face adversity with resilience. We cultivate critical thinking and creativity, teamwork and competition, hard work and reflection, tradition and innovation. Valuing our differences and working together, we embrace camaraderie, compassion, and service to others.
Our school strives to instill in each boy ethical judgment, a sense of common humanity, and a lifelong love of learning.
A School for Boys
We take great pride in knowing how boys think, act, and develop—as individuals and in a group. Here boys study, think, and achieve in the classroom without embarrassment or apology in a risk-free environment.
We believe—and many studies confirm—that single-sex education offers students significant benefits. We also strive to ensure that our students are sensitive to and well prepared for the coeducational world in which they live. Students regularly interact with girls from Winsor, Newton Country Day, and Dana Hall on school activities.
