Two teachers. Every classroom.
Not an aide — two full-time credentialed teachers, so instruction stays small-group all day long.
About Us
Raising the Standard since day one
Benchmark exists to provide a solid foundation of knowledge through a first-class education that is individually structured to optimize each child's potential.
Our Mission
A shared responsibility
Providing a solid foundation of knowledge through a first-class education that is individually structured to optimize each child's potential. The program is based on an understanding that education is a shared responsibility of the school, parents, and community as well as the learner.
Benchmark strives to produce students who are entrepreneurial in spirit, accomplished critical thinkers, and skilled problem solvers.
Curriculum with a spine
Singapore Math, the Superkids Reading Program, Core Knowledge & Core Virtues, and Standards Based Curricula.
Character on purpose
Our daily Core Virtues curriculum gives children a shared language for honesty, perseverance and kindness.
A community, not a campus
A tight-knit community of caring teachers, devoted staff and engaged families — a family away from family.
