The Bement School Reviews
Rating 4.47 out of 5 19 reviews
Highly recommend! Bement is the right school to international families that want to send their young children to a faraway country. Bement has innumerable merits. Competent teachers, freimily peers, organic foods, idyllic scenery, systematic curriculum, advanced math class open, immediate communication between parents and teachers, pick-up and drop-off at the airport by Bement teachers (How relieved!) etc. Bement fulfilled my two expectations academically and emotionally. My son would say, “All the teachers are like an encyclopedia.” I also remember how energetically school nurse, dorm parents, dorm administrator, and school doctor communicated with me and set out actively to cure my son when my son’s collarbone was broken. Even though I couldn't go to US in this Corona situation, all the teachers took him to three orthopedics and connected doctors with me by video call. The close cooperation with parents makes me trust and love Bement. I respect all the teachers!
As a current parent, to make some practical comments, the teaching staff at Bement School are still very good. However, the academics are not rigorous. The student population has been uneven in recent years, especially in recent years when the overall standard has dropped after admitting some children who are not so good for tuition fees, which has a negative impact on other children. The biggest disadvantage of the school is that it does not have any facilities of its own and relies on the DA, which is only available when it is not in use. And many sports teams don't give access to coaches, leaving the children to practice on their own, which is a pure waste of time.
I have a child about to graduate after 10 years at Bement and I can't recommend enough. From k - 9th, our kids have has a wonderful experience. The art department, learning a new language, the teachers and coaches. Special place!
