“My Round Square exchange to California changed my perception of the world and I was able to see different environments and learning styles.”

round-square3Fern Hill is a regional member of Round Square, an association of international private schools. Through this innovative programme, students in Grade 7 and 8 are exposed to unique and rewarding opportunities beyond the classroom.

  • Take part in international service projects
  • Host staff and students from Round Square schools in our classrooms and our homes.
  • Benefit from contact with some of the world’s finest schools.

Patrons of the Round Square include Nelson Mandela, HRH, The Duke of York, King Constantine of Greece and Free the Children founder, Craig Kielburger.
