The Bentley School

Celebrating 100 years of excellence in learning, Bentley is a K-12 coed, independent day school with beautiful campuses in Oakland (K-8) & Lafayette (9-12).

We are committed to a balanced educational experience focused on academics and including a wide range of opportunities in arts and athletics in each of our Lower, Middle and Upper School divisions. We are a community of learners with an advanced professional development program for our faculty and staff, committed to serving families from all types of backgrounds and ethnicities. Our core values of integrity, excellence, ingenuity, courage and inclusion reflect our commitment to educate our students to succeed in the global community.

Each of our Divisions brings a unique facet to a childs and young adults educational program. We introduce PACT (Positive Action Character Team) in the Lower School, a significant commitment to Community Service in Middle School and experiences in the Global Community in the Upper School.
