The Bermuda High School

What The Bermuda High School does

The Bermuda High School for Girls (BHS) is a private, non-profit independent school founded in 1894 and located at 19 Richmond Road, Pembroke, Bermuda. It serves 577 students from age 4 through Year 13 across an Early Years Programme (EYP), Primary Programme (Years 1-6) following the International Primary Curriculum, Secondary Programme (Years 7-11) aligned with the English National Curriculum and I/GCSEs, and a co-educational Senior Years Programme (Years 12-13) offering A Levels, the IB Diploma, and IB Courses. The school is all-girls from EYP through Year 11 — the only such school in Bermuda — and admits boys only in the SYP years. Curriculum is anchored in STEAM education delivered in a 14,000 sq ft Innovation Centre opened in November 2020.

BHS operates four international programme accreditations — CIS (since 2014, re-accredited February 2023), NEASC (since 2015, re-accredited February 2023), IB World School (since 2000, the longest-established IB programme in Bermuda), and ICGS membership — and is the exclusive Round Square member school in Bermuda, granting access to 260+ partner schools across 50 countries. The school employs 98 teaching staff drawn from 17 countries and reports a 100% tertiary education placement rate, with 10 Rhodes Scholars produced since 2001.

The business model is tuition-driven subscription revenue, with annual fees for 2026/2027 ranging from $24,000 (EYP single-payment) to $29,640 (Years 4-13 ten-payment plan). Three payment-plan tiers (Single, Three, Ten) are offered. BHS distributes over $1 million annually across an average of 168 bursaries and scholarships, with scholarships ranging from $2,000-$5,000 and bursaries up to 50% of fees. A secondary revenue stream comes from facility rentals (gymnasium, halls, theatre, sports field). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through a dedicated Director of Admissions using a rolling admissions policy with main entry points at EYP, Y1, Y4, Y7, and Y12. Marketing relies on the school website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, alumni networks, and open house events. The school is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees; Tina Harris serves as Head of School.
