Bentley School
Lafayette, California
Since 1920, Bentley School has provided a unique approach to academics for all students in grades Kindergarten through 12. Our belief that academic achievement is the foundation for all great educational experiences is unwavering. At the same time, Bentley retains a deep commitment to the individual student. Our ability to be flexible, grow, expand, and develop our program as the needs of the students develop and change is a hallmark of our intelligent and thoughtful approach to academic excellence. Bentley students will find themselves both challenged and supported. At Bentley, we believe that students, whether they are in first grade or tenth grade, have the innate capability to achieve extraordinary results, and to engage in a learning process based-upon Bentley's profound belief in the potential of all students.
