Bennett Day School
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 มี.ค. 2022
Bennett Day School is an independent PreK-12 school located in Chicago's West Loop.
At Bennett Day School, we believe that every child is born wondering, and that fostering this innate curiosity leads to a lifelong love of learning. We teach kids, not content. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our educators are experts in child development and keen observers of students and their interests. Learning is then thoughtfully scaffolded around these interests, which naturally creates a stronger connection between our students and their education.
Our students learn by doing through dynamic project-based learning experiences, and our competency-based approach to education and assessment provides each learner with actionable feedback based on their strengths and areas of challenge.
