Award winning theatre productions; history, science and literature projects; sports programs; and rich and relevant seminar style studies mixed with traditional methods and multi-grade classes are some of the ways we provide a high standard of interesting, engaging, physically balanced, and intellectually stimulating prepatory education. Effective too. Our students find themselves prepared. Not just for the federal and state required standard tests, but for friendship, citizenship, service, advanced education, and, well, what we trust are and will continue to be lives well lived.

Bennett Theatre was the first school to receive the AriZonie Theatre award for Best Original Children’s show in 2002 for it’s production of “Testament.” This powerful and moving story of the Holocaust has been seen by over 2000 people and praised by Holocaust survivors as an accurate depiction of what they endured. A copy of it is currently in The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.

Who can resist engaging the Gifted And Those Who Think They Are? Not us. Students and staff, Bennett Royals all, embrace and use the concept to tackle issues both current and historic, large and small. And it's no accident we end up involved with Science and History and Literature and Math and Language and all manner of subjects fit for interesting and challenging study.

It is easy to see why students get a great education at Bennett Academy!
