Love the community

July 13, 2024

I’m entering my seventh year at Bentley, and I have truly enjoyed each year here. The courses are rigorous and engaging, with a wide variety across the board. The teachers are fantastic and are so passionate about what they teach, which really inspires the students to work harder and discover what they enjoy. The community is extremely tight-knit, and we all want to help each other succeed and grow. There are numerous extracurriculars to participate in, from clubs to student organizations to sports teams, so there will always be a smaller community open to you on campus. I’m very sad that this will be my last year, but I’m thankful for the opportunities Bentley has given me and the people that I have met along the way.

A wonderful school for my daughter

The academic program is challenging, and the extracurricular activities are diverse and engaging. We highly recommend Bentley to any family looking for a top-notch education.
