The premier gateway to British boarding schools returns to Bermuda this March as Beach Education prepares to host its highly anticipated annual fair. Taking place on the weekend of March 14th and 15th, the event serves as a vital bridge for Bermudian families looking to explore elite academic and athletic pathways in the United Kingdom.
Saturday's proceedings will focus on the traditional Education Fair, running from 2pm until 5pm, where representatives from top-tier institutions will be available to discuss curriculum and campus life. However, it is Sunday’s schedule that is set to capture the attention of the island's sporting community.
The highlight of the weekend features a special appearance by England rugby icon Ben Youngs. The legendary scrum-half will lead an exclusive Q&A session at 2pm on Sunday, offering families a rare opportunity to gain insights from a player who has reached the very pinnacle of the international game. Youngs will share his experiences of high-performance sport and discuss how the British boarding system provides the necessary structure for young athletes to excel.
Following the session with Youngs, the focus shifts to a specialized panel discussion at 2.45pm entitled How Boarding Schools Help Nurture Sporting Talent. This session features contributions from sporting powerhouses such as Millfield School alongside other leading UK institutions. These schools are renowned for their world-class facilities and coaching staff, often serving as a springboard for professional careers in rugby, football, and athletics.
Organizers emphasize that this year's event is not to be missed for any student-athlete aiming to balance rigorous academics with elite sport. By bringing elite coaches and sporting experts directly to Bermuda, Beach Education continues to provide a clear and sustainable pathway for the next generation of Bermudian talent to compete on the global stage.
