The parents and staff of Benton School believe that all children can learn. We believe that children learn at different rates and that a positive environment will allow for the greatest growth and development. These beliefs will help the children develop a respect for themselves and others. We believe that our high expectations will help students acquire the necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes to enter the next level of formal education as well as develop into contributing citizens. We are a multi-age school because children of various ages are grouped in the same classroom.
