The elementary school years are a formative time for young learners in so many ways. Research shows that it’s a crucial stage in a child’s academic and personal development. At Benchmark School, we understand the importance of the role that our educators play in shaping young minds. So what sets us apart? How do we lay the foundation for later success in school and in life? We’re glad you asked!
Academic Building Blocks
At Benchmark School, we focus on the fundamental skills of reading, writing and math - the building blocks for future learning. Our reading program, SuperKids, is enriched by a phonics-based curriculum that develops strong reading skills and comprehension that are vital for academic success.
Core Knowledge curriculum builds knowledge and skills cumulatively from grade to grade, ensuring that children build a base of understanding. Award-winning Singapore Math teaches the fundamentals to more complex math concepts in later grades. And we use an innovative teaching model that features two full-time professional teachers in every classroom!
Social Development
Our small-school K-6 environment is a nurturing environment for students to develop social skills like teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation. Our students have the opportunity to breakout into small groups based on their different needs, form friendships, and interact with teachers in a respectful and trusting manner - setting them up for success in future relationships.
Exploring New Subjects
Elementary aged students are curious learners. We foster their interest in the world around them through hands-on activities in lots of different subjects. From trying a musical instrument to playing with clay, creativity is encouraged. And regular visits to our Science Lab give Benchmark students the opportunity to learn about 80+ different species of animals, insects and reptiles!

Benchmark students graduate from elementary school ready to take their next academic steps and ignited with a passion for learning and exploring the world. Our effective teaching methods and supportive staff ensure that every student is valued and achieving to the best of their abilities - ready to make a difference as tomorrow’s leaders.
