We decided to send ours to the UK from this September because class sizes continue to reduce and that in my view that does not create the best environment for kids to learn and develop – Too big is not good, but equally too small is not good either. If there really is a need for a selective school in Bermuda (which I would challenge) surely it would be better partnering with one of the existing schools (Warwick/Saltus) to leverage their existing operations. Running a good school is not cheap! I also hold the view that top students will continue to leave the island for established top tier private schools. Obviously that is dependent on the parents being able to afford it, but you get a lot more for your money in the UK or Canada so anyone with kids over 11 years currently in the private system here in Bermuda should really do their research.
