At Bennett, we do not see students as empty vessels waiting to be filled with information, but rather as competent, capable individuals who are co-collaborators in their education. Our students learn by doing through meaningful project-based learning (PBL) experiences and are assessed based on developmental milestones and essential competencies, not the traditional grading scale. Our experienced educators are committed to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Why choose Bennett?
We believe that everyone who works in our school—including teachers, staff, building custodians, and administration—impacts the lives of our students. As a community that values lifelong learning, we prioritize time and space for our educators to reflect, collaborate, innovate, and grow.
