Bennett Day's teachers and counselor has been a great help during the transition from high school to college. The staff has always made me feel apart of the big community at Bennett which is important to me. All of the resources and programs I've found through Bennett have been a great help.

Bennett Day is not like any other school. It is a community, a place that feels like home, and a place to find who you are. The teachers support you every step of the way with anything you want to do and will help reach your goals and aspirations.

Learning at Bennett is by accident. In this type of learning environment teachers are critical. Well Bennett hires swim teachers, dance teachers and sociology majors to teach early childhood education. Teachers themselves are uneducated and are more for play. Spent 3 years here and teachers got fire...
