Girls and Boys at Box Forest

our experience is that girls and boys succeed side by side

The ideal school is a microcosm of the society it serves and is an environment in which young people develop and exercise their skills for life.

Coeducation is a system wherein boys and girls and young men and women can interact and be educated with equity. Coeducation allows students to develop the social skills and understanding which are critical for the community of the future.

Our philosophy acknowledges individual differences, whether they be between students of the same gender or between boys and girls, and acknowledges the equality of their rights and opportunities in life.

In a well run coeducational setting, students of both sexes are able to achieve their highest potential in academic, sporting and artistic endeavours. Leadership can be achieved and exercised by both girls and boys in an environment that enables them to discover each other’s strengths and insights.

In our classrooms, coeducation provides students with the widest possible range of academic opportunities. Classroom practice is geared towards ensuring that each student’s voice is heard and is fully supported by the provision of pastoral care.
