School Notes
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.
