Our mission is to teach boys to think intelligently, act wisely, and be fully engaged in a challenging and changing world.
Values Our four values of integrity, responsibility, endeavor, and curiosity are at the very foundation of every boy’s education at Bedford School and underpin all that we do.
integrity has the highest standards of honesty and trustworthiness to stand up for what is right to set an impeccable example of sportsmanship to develop appropriate personal moral views to be fair and reasonable at all times.
responsibility to take responsibility for learning and behavior to show respect to all to care for others and support them in what they do to act by school expectations to understand their place and their duties in the school, in the local community, and the world.
endeavor to do one’s best in all things, in the classroom and beyond it to try for the sake of the team as well as the individual to aspire to and achieve success in all its forms.
Curiosity To take an interest in academic work to ask questions to broaden knowledge and intellect to engage in a wide variety of school events to be aware of the world beyond Bedford School: locally, nationally, and internationally.
We encourage boys to develop their intellectual curiosity, broaden their knowledge and develop their own opinions of the world in which they live.
Vision An independent boys’ boarding and day school which provides an outstanding round education for up to 1100 boys from age 7-18 by:
