A wealth of institutional knowledge since 1903 enables Highbury to not only understand boys, but also know how different they can be from each other. It’s all about nurturing their individual talents and bringing out the best in them.
While young men and boys can and do excel in many types of educational institutions, schools for boys focus with intention on learning that addresses not only how to excel in academics, but also how to grow into a young man of integrity and empathy. In engaging and supportive single-sex environments, students explore their values and establish a foundation for making responsible decisions; they explore their own definitions of self, who they are and who they want to become; the learn to forge healthy relationships; and they step out of their comfort zone to explore their full potential.
For over a century, Highbury has known and grown boys. We are proud of our long and successful heritage and we delight in those traditions. We are inspired by tradition, but not constrained by it.
A wealth of institutional knowledge since 1903 enables us to not only understand boys, but also know how different they can be from each other. Highbury has remained true to its founding principles: each boy is treated as an individual in the firm belief that he has the potential for excellence waiting to be unearthed. Being boys-only means that boys take part wholeheartedly in activities that otherwise are traditionally dominated by girls.
Over your son’s primary school years at Highbury, he will have every opportunity to explore his strengths and weaknesses and discover his unique talent. At Highbury, your sons will belong. They will be known. Known not only by name, but for who they are and what helps them flourish. They will find their people and make life-long friends – not only with their peers, but with their teachers. We are home to boys who are kind, curious and capable. We are home to boys who will change the world by being supportive husbands, loving fathers and conscious global citizens.
