Extraordinary learning is in our nature.

Our lakefront campus provides a unique environment for an innovative academic program that immerses your child in powerful experiential learning that’s impossible to gain in traditional classroom settings.
teachers for always providing a listening ear throughout my journey here at this school.”
Christopher Davidson “For my senior year, I have taken AP french language and culture, AP human geography, AP calculus, AP english literature, AP language, AP psychology, and AP physics 1, as well as world issues. I am a student leader through my roles in Gold Key, the Saltus debate team, and as a Head Prefect.
My favourite course I have taken this year has been french language and culture. Language is a fascinating field of study on its own; it is a key that allows you to open doors to completely new and different experiences. In university, I look forward to pursuing the humanities in the United States or the United Kingdom. From there, I plan to study law and follow what makes me happy.
Finding out what to do in life is a journey, and like most journeys, it is impossible to do alone. I owe so much to all the people who have helped me along the way—to my great friends who have encouraged me, to my dad and grandmother, and to the approachable, passionate teachers who’ve influenced me and helped me discover my passions. I am thankful for the education that I have received and am proud of my accomplishments as a student.” www.saltus.bm
Sheridan College
Zoë O’Connor Coming from Bermuda in 2018, all I really knew was that I would gain a deeper understanding of how to sing, dance and act in music theatre. The programme at Sheridan has boosted my versatility in all aspects of musical theatre. I’ve gained a lot of confidence and trust in myself as a performer. However I’ve also had the opportunity to extend to other facets of the arts. This has ranged from writing my own musicals to acting in plays to singing pop music with a band. I’ve learned more about myself as a young Black woman in theatre and what I

Although I came to the programme only wanting to be an actor, I have been influenced and challenged to change the current notion and ideas of what we think theatre is. Throughout the four years I also received a community full of actors, writers, and directors who are willing and ready to work with you and aid you in creating art that is surprising, joyous and magical. This has extended outside of Sheridan and I have made lifelong bonds that I will carry through my career. www.sheridancollege.ca
The Berkeley Institute
Kriston Adams “I am a principal honor student, Head Boy of The Berkeley Institute, and a dual enrolment student at Bermuda College. I’d describe myself as a driven, capable, and determined young man, in an everlasting quest for knowledge. I like to follow the idea of taking a leaf from each tree as I go. A reflection of this idea is my drive to tap into new opportunities life has to offer. I’ve tapped into fields such as football, STEM camp, cricket, business, boxing, construction and much more. I take fragments from each area to help discipline myself and shape my character. I became a member of The Peer Forward programme, which directly complements my charisma and has helped me to guide others on their endeavors after secondary schooling. I encourage people to surround themselves with likeminded

Keren Smith “I am the Head Girl at The Berkeley Institute. I am currently a dual enrollment student at Bermuda College, enrolled in the Associates of Arts and Science programme.

“Why boarding schools?”World Class Academics: To foster academic exploration, feed curiosity, and challenge students as independent learners and thinkers. Athletics: Athletics at a boarding school is about more than wins and losses. No matter what your path in life, physical activity plays an important role in your health and well-being. While many students choose to play team sports all three seasons, each school offers athletic alternatives and recreational sports. Arts: The opportunity to engage in creative endeavors like music, dance, theater, and visual arts is one of the hallmarks of a boarding school education.
“How do we find the “right” fit?” On April 27th and October 1st and 2nd, come meet boarding school and junior boarding school representatives from Canada and the United States for conversations about the signature programs and 21st century teaching and learning these schools provide. www.schoolstoknow.com received have been for my leadership, citizenship, character, and spirit. I always aim to better myself as a student and as a leader. A few ways that I have accomplished this, is by taking part in the SHE-LEADs programme, and becoming SCARS certified. I have been a part of organisations such as, Mirrors, Hamilton Rotary Interact as president, the National High School Model United Nations, and Peer Forward as the outreach manager. In the future, I wish to attend school in the United States, receive my PhD in psychology and open my own practice. www.berkeley.bm
