Info
My child has been at the Benjamin School for 9 years-honor roll...took out this year. Most boys usually a year older-can be disadvantage for those of the correct age re: athletics/puberty. Academics for lower school needs to be stronger. Middle school often requires extra at home. Teacher assistance ...  Read more

Benjamin is the biggest hype: My child went for KG to 4th grade, I finally sent her to the public school. The reason was not Money. The school claims that they use Garten's methodology to teach the students .. the biggest joke you will find. If you search on Internet , this method was developed ...  Read more

We have one child who has attended Benjamin for the past 10 years. We can't imagine a better place for our daughter. Yes, the tuition is high but the value for what is paid is wonderful. I do note that each negative comment begins with mention of the high tuition. This school seems to engender much hostility ...  Read more

We pulled our daughter out and have her in a gifted program at a public school. This school is not worth the money charged. They are always asking for more money, nickle and diming you. Not worth the money-look somewhere else

As the years have passed, the board of directors has changed and so has the schools direction. Not a day goes by that a request for money ...  Read more

For what this school charges the education is not up to standards.The teachers, for the most part are great, they work hard, give a lot to the students. There is a lot of bullying in middle school,perhaps because the schools children come from upper income demogrphics, who knows, this year, in particular ...  Read more

I could not even start to explain my love for this school. The Benjamin school not only challenges me extremely in the academic area, but also in my social skills, and skills that could help me throughout my life. For the academics, the english program is very challenging and we have at least an essay ...  Read more

If you have an average child and want a safe, pretty environment, send your child here. If you want an academic challenge, send your child to the public gifted schools.

I can not say enough great things about this school. Not only is the academic program second to none, but the athletic and art programs, the social responsibility and character building programs are all fantastic. I have 3 children in the school and we are now entering our 8th year at The Benjamin ...  Read more
