We were delighted to welcome 20 international educational agents to Burgess Hill Girls this week, courtesy of the British Boarding Schools’ Network (BBSN).
Representing countries including Argentina, China, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, South Korea and Turkey, the agents spent the day experiencing life at Burgess Hill Girls first-hand. Their visit included a tour of the School and boarding house, lesson observations in science, music and drama, lunch with staff and students, and the opportunity to learn more about our educational offering and community.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase what makes Burgess Hill Girls such a distinctive place to learn and grow. While prospectuses and websites offer a glimpse into school life, there is no substitute for experiencing the atmosphere in person. Throughout the day, visitors were able to see the energy in our classrooms, the warmth of our student community and the passion and expertise of our staff.
International educational agents play an important role in helping families around the world find the right school for their children. These partnerships are invaluable in connecting prospective students and families with opportunities that align with their aspirations, interests and educational goals.
We are incredibly grateful to our international partners for their continued support and advocacy, and it was a pleasure to welcome them to Burgess Hill Girls. We would also like to thank our students and colleagues, who were exceptional ambassadors for the School and helped make the visit such a success.
We look forward to strengthening these global connections and welcoming even more international students to our community in the years ahead.
