• General Information

  The Benjamin School is an independent co-educational day school serving students from ages 3 through grade 12 in Palm Beach County. The School resides on two campuses: the 14-acre Lower and Middle School campus in North Palm Beach and the 50-acre Upper School campus in Palm Beach Gardens. The School’s rigorous and varied program prepares its students for acceptance to 4-year colleges.

   

  The Benjamin School’s core is academics, with a balanced emphasis on athletics and the arts. The Lower School challenges students with an academic program that includes, among other strong elements, highly developed research-based instruction in language arts and mathematics and a strong Pre-K 3 to 5th-grade world language program. In Middle School, students are challenged with a wide variety of college preparatory courses including advanced world language instruction, Algebra I and Geometry, and advanced science programs. At the Upper School campus, the faculty offers courses on three levels: regular, honors, and AP.  

   

  In all three divisions, students have many opportunities to be involved in dance, instrumental (including strings) and vocal music, drama, and the visual arts.  Students in all three divisions also have a physical education program, and those in the Middle and Upper Schools must participate in one or more team sports.

   

  The School makes extensive use of technology in its programs. All classrooms have an interactive whiteboard (Smartboard or Epson), and all computers on both campuses have internet access via school-wide Wireless access. The second, third, fourth, and fifth-grade students bring iPads to school each day. The Middle School has a BYOD program, and in the Upper School, all students own and use laptops or iPads.  The School also provides specialized computers for video editing, digital graphics, desktop publishing, and the computer lab.
