Since its founding in 1960, The Benjamin School's mission has remained virtually unchanged: to provide a challenging college preparatory education to a diverse student body in a structured, nurturing community environment. The school fosters character, leadership, integrity, honor, a love of learning, and a sense of personal responsibility. The rigorous academic program, combined with a major commitment to fine arts, athletics, student activities, and community service helps to instill these important qualities. One hundred percent of the graduating seniors are accepted to four year colleges each year: and often more than two-thirds matriculate at colleges which are ranked in the top two tiers of the most difficult colleges in the country. Every department makes advanced placement courses available to juniors and seniors.
