Emerging Adults One of our greatest challenges at 16 is the bridge between school and adult life. Often parents think BHASVIC is not enough like a school, whilst many students think we’re not enough like university or work! As Personal Tutors, we are right in the middle of this conundrum for your child. With your support, we can help all our students reach their potential and independence.
