... A
quick overview of Beverly Hills Girls High School
...
Our school
offers modern facilities, spacious grounds and
many challenging and interesting things for students to learn
and do both inside and outside
the classroom. There are around 1000 girls
currently enrolled at the school and
approximately 70 teaching and support staff.
Two of the
features which set Beverly Hills Girls High
apart from more traditionally structured schools
are our system of offering students the widest
possible subject choice and the opportunity to
progress through school at their own pace.
Under this
system, students select subjects as units of
work and are placed in classes based on their
level of achievement rather than age. This mean
that gifted students have the opportunity to
progress rapidly and could perhaps sit their HSC
examinations in some subjects a year or more
ahead of their age cohort.
On the
other hand, students who find a subject
difficult can spend extra time perfecting their
skills rather than moving up a level before they
are ready.
As you can
imagine, our approach provides much more
flexibility than the standard system and enables
us to cater for individual needs by offering
personalized study courses and timetables.
Moreover, because girls of varying ages learn
together, it means our older students can help
guide the younger ones ...
