The Benjamin School is the premier independent school in the area. From the dedicated faculty to the rich academic offerings, it can't be beaten. Both the lower/middle and upper school campuses are beautiful with top-notch technology. The school truly lives up to its motto: second to none!
I went to The Benjamin School for all four years of high school and it was amazing. Lots of people hate that it is a smaller school but that is what I loved most about it. Having small class sizes and less students meant that I was able to get help from teacher whenever I needed it. However, I can't just say the school size is the reason for the amazing teachers. The teachers are the most hard-working and dedicated members of the school. They are always available to you whether you're at home or it's early in the morning. I loved all my teachers and had the best education possible because of them. Overall my experience at Benjamin was very memorable. I have made connections and friendships there that I will have for the rest of my life.
Benjamin is an amazing school with great resources. However, throughout my time here, there has been a lot of teacher turnover and at times I felt as though this hindered my education, but with that being said they continue to improve their faculty every year. I think the best part about Benjamin is the preparation for college, which makes sense as it is a college prep school, and the smaller class sizes allow for amazing learning and discussions among students and teachers. I am a STEM loving student and though our STEM classes are abundant, there is definitely room for improvement within clubs, more advanced/AP classes, etc. A few things I hope Benjamin changes in the future are the connection between the administration and the students (it is lacking in the sense that the students feel unheard/restricted no matter how many times we speak up), the diversity of the school, as well as the stress culture associated among peers (certain students are praised/others feel neglected).
