Small classes and a full schedule from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. combine classical education with extensive opportunities in athletics, music, theater, visual arts, community service, and other activities. Though diverse in backgrounds and teaching styles, Belmont Hill faculty members share common core values: an insistence upon holding students to high standards; a concern for developing character and values; a recognition that life's lessons can be taught throughout the day, on athletic fields and in rehearsal halls as well as in classrooms; a concern for each student's total development, social and personal as well as academic; and a willingness to provide extra help, whenever and wherever necessary. Belmont Hill is what it is, in large measure, because of the School's single-sex status, which puts the focus on the total development of boys into men. The teachers know the developmental stages of boys and how boys learn best. Boys speak up and stay focused in class, unafraid to take risks and unconcerned about how they are perceived. They feel free to pursue theater, music, or visual arts. They feel free to tutor a child or brighten a senior citizen's day. They feel free, in sum, to develop their talents and to share their humanity, unfettered by juvenile notions of what it means to “be a man” and energized by the spirit of camaraderie that permeates the School. Belmont Hill is a boys' school, but what is more important is that it is a good school. “Goodness” is measured by the character of the students and the citizens they become. Belmont Hill strives to have its students leave with a love of learning and a willingness to work hard, take risks, take a stand, and make a difference.
