The bush school has 100 years history. It has a profound cultural inheritance. It not only teaches knowledge but also helps students to be a better person. The bush school has very mature teaching concepts and methods .Students learn by doing and use different methods to understand what they have learned. Teachers are very professional , experienced and kind . They care the feelings of every student .

The arts could be stronger but for a smaller school they offer a variety of classes even if some are more atypical than traditional fine arts. My child has had a positive experience in the upper school , met supportive friends, and has grown a lot. I'm confident she will be prepared for any university when she graduates in a year.

We have two kids at Bush and have been very happy with their upper school. Kids are encouraged to be independent and critical thinkers. They have excellent college counselors and helped us nativagate the complicated and stressful college application process seamlessly.
