While there are many overall good things about Ben Lippen, like the teachers are nice and care about us, the classes challenge but aren't awful. There are also some things that I would like to see changed.
9/5/2024
Ben Lippen is a wonderful school, with great academics and an amazing culture. We've had three kids attend over the years and have absolutely no regrets.

Ben lippen School has made an incredicble impact on my life. It has taught me that there are teaachers out there who genuinkey care about you. There is administration who treats you like family. There are students who share the love of Christ with others constantly. I feel safe and heard at Ben Lippen. I can walk through the halls and know everyone by name. That is my favorite part. I would like to see some aspects of the science department change.

Ben Lippen School (BLS) has been a God sent for our girls. We home schooled our oldest daughter for middle school which we were blessed we could keep her home for a difficult time for children. As we were finalizing plans to do the same for our youngest daughter, God had other plans. He showed me pr...
