Our family is thrilled for our kids to attend Ben Lippen. They provide a safe learning environment for their students and teach from a Biblical worldview that aligns with what our family values. One thing that strikes us is the importance that the teachers and faculty place on being relational with the students. As parents to a teenager, this is something that matters to us greatly. We knew Grace would flourish within the school and we loved knowing that our kids’ teachers would know and care about them personally. Our children aren’t just another number; they are souls that matter deeply to the heart of God and will matter to their teachers. We feel the family environment and love that Ben Lippen has to offer. It is a place we trust will come alongside our family in raising our children to know Jesus and learn what it means to walk with Him daily and honor Him in all we do. We know an eternal impact is being made in the lives of our children by choosing Ben Lippen for our family!
Everything about Ben Lippen exudes not only love, support and a peace of mind but I truly believe it has added so much joy to my family. I thank God everyday for everyone from the staff and teachers to the other students and parents. Having my son learn and grow at such an amazing level while being surrounded by some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met, leaves me feeling nothing but blessed. We were welcomed from day one with open arms and have felt comfortable ever since. There is no where else we would rather be than right here at Ben Lippen!
This is only our 2nd year at Ben Lippen but we know it’s our home. Currently have a 5th and 8th grader. We have experience with home schooling, public school and private school. Ben Lippen has been the best fit and we are thrilled to now call it our home. It’s community & it’s family! The change for our kids both socially and academically can’t begin to compare to the change that it made in our kids over all attitude toward school. From the administration to the teachers, it’s evident that they genuinely care about the “whole person” of each students. It is obvious that they want to see children succeed in and out of the classroom and prepare them for life. There is no school finer in South Carolina! Go Falcons!
