    From Bennett Day School

    At Bennett Day School, our mission is to provide a collaborative culture that nurtures our innate sense of inquiry and curiosity. We are committed to advancing creativity, innovation, and the development of lifelong learners and leaders.

    Ours is not a desk and chalkboard institution but rather a center, a laboratory, where students develop ideas and understanding, pursue interests and dreams, and hold themselves and their colleagues accountable for shared and individual work.

    At Bennett, students learn by doing through dynamic project-based learning experiences. Our competency-based approach to education and assessment provides each learner with actionable feedback based on their strengths and areas of challenge.
