Why CBHS?

Christian Brothers Lewisham is dedicated to nurturing every boy’s spiritual, academic, pastoral, sporting, and cultural development. From their first day to graduation, we will guide them to become confident, compassionate young men who strive for excellence and positively impact the world.
Research consistently shows that boys and girls learn differently. At CBHS Lewisham, we specialise in boys’ education, tailoring our teaching to how boys learn best. Our teachers understand boys thrive in environments with activity, competition, humour, hands-on experiences, clear expectations, and structured time constraints. They benefit from strong role models, a literacy-focused curriculum, and technology-driven learning, with less passive instruction and more active participation.
Our boys have access to a wide range of opportunities and experiences and are encouraged to participate based on their interests, skills, and passions. We also challenge traditional stereotypes about boys’ education—our students confidently embrace activities like choir and orchestra, which are often overlooked in co-educational settings, because we foster an environment where every interest is valued.
More importantly, boys at CBHS Lewisham learn that success is not just about academics or achievements but also about building meaningful relationships, teamwork, and strong friendships—skills that will serve them well throughout life. We focus on the boy to grow the man.
