    “College preparatory” doesn’t even begin to describe Benet. Over the past three years, I have grown so much as a student. The way I view school has changed completely- I actually want to understand everything I’m learning and not just memorize the pages, scribble it all down on the tests, and then forget it all. This school has challenged me and accustomed me to harder work loads, which makes college seem a lot less scary than it did before I came to Benet. If someone is thinking of enrolling in this school, they are definitely not making a mistake. Just be warned- a good mindset is key. If a student decides to just blow off their homework and use their iPad for just games during class, then they definitely should go here! If anyone is looking for good preparation for college and building close relationships in a tight-knit community that feels like family, consider becoming a Redwing!

    The school, the faculty, the support by the Monks, the students and their families all lead to the overall excellent faith filled educational environment. There are many good schools in the area, but NONE could match our experience at Benet. Principal Marth is a great leader and the support of literally the entire school makes every family experience the best of what Benet has to offer. It's a great day to be a REDWING!
    Very hard academically, but you will learn more than any other high school students. Those who go to Benet Academy often find that college is easy in comparison. The teachers are helpful and understanding. The school is clean and small. The cafeteria food is great. The ACT scores speak for themselves-- Benet is a great school. Although many people drop out freshman year because they find it too academically challenging, those who stick with it until senior year are always 100% ready for college. The courses offered are more than sufficient to provide an amazing education.
