This inaugural small but mighty class of graduates is finding phenomenal matches with programs that further their intended purpose and meaning in life at this early stage in their lives. They didn’t just go searching for familiar and desirable household names, but they are landing on so many of those as well. To generate these outcomes, the very first time these colleges and universities learn about Bennett, is astounding and humbling. Our graduates are opening doors, widely, for those to follow, too.

Project-Based Learning works. Competency-Based Education works. The Mastery Transcript Consortium® (MTC) is a tremendous success. Collaborating; learning by doing; completing real-world internships for 150 hours before graduation; demo days to present learning to the community based on your intrinsic desire to learn…these experiences at Bennett are so valuable to graduate students with purpose.
High school students nationally say they are tired, bored, and stressed at school. At Bennett, they say school is unique, collaborative, fun, and challenging. This is what high school was meant to be, what K-12 education needs to be. This is what we want for our children — to be happy AND successful, not to risk one at the expense of the other. Our children are too precious. And our results at Bennett now speak for themselves.

We can’t wait to follow the future careers of our seniors. They will be standout contributors, changemakers, and leaders on their new campuses and as alums. Many of us will be working for them, voting for them, and more before we know it. Congrats to the Bennett Upper School, Class of 2023!! You are amazing!!
