    Various tour options and dates will be available in mid September 2021. 

    Please contact the Admissions Office at admissions@bentleyschool.org if you have immediate questions.  

  • Student Shadows

    A Student Visit (sometimes referred to as a Shadow Visit) is a wonderful opportunity for prospective students to experience a “day in the life” of a Bentley student.

    In-person visits for grades 6-12: Students are greeted by their ambassador, a current student, who will be their campus guide for the day. While not required, we highly recommend your middle or upper school student sign up so they can see for themselves all that Bentley has to offer.

    Shadow visits for the 2021-2022 academic year will begin this fall.
