In the words of the founder of the Round Square Organisation, Kurt Hahn:
“I regard it as the foremost task of education to ensure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self-denial, and above all, compassion.”
The ideas of Kurt Hahn underpin the Wider Classroom philosophy at Bridge House, where we believe in offering activities outside of the classroom walls for our students to develop skills that will enable them to learn for life.
Outdoor experiences such as camps, extracurricular activities and educational outings, where self-directed learning beyond the classroom takes place, are organised. The Wider classroom provides opportunities for learning about leadership, service and entrepreneurship.
We offer a sit-down lunch provided daily for both day and boarding students. The lunch is made on campus by Origin Food Services and served in our two dining rooms. Together with Origin, we promote healthy eating. No externally processed foods are used, everything is created on-site, with the main goal of enhancing the students physical and mental wellbeing.
