PBL 3

Bennett is a progressive PreK-12 program that prioritizes meaningful activity in learning and participation in classroom democracy. We genuinely believe that students must be invested in what they are learning and the curriculum must be relevant to students’ lives. This is the key to keeping learners engaged.

Learning by doing and the development of life skills are crucial. Our Reggio-inspired, project-based approach doesn't change as our students get older, it simply becomes more complex.
