CORE VALUES
As we pursue our mission, we are guided by the values at the heart of a Bentley education. These core values define and sustain our traditions and illuminate our future endeavors.
Integrity—Honor, character, dignity, compassion, and ethical responsibility is a fundamental ideal in our community and in our approach to teaching and learning.
Excellence—Our comprehensive and academically rigorous curriculum promotes a life long pursuit and love of learning; provides a range of challenging opportunities in academics, athletics and the arts; encourages balance in students’ individual interests and goals.
Ingenuity—the support of intellectual inquiry is developed by encouraging students to explore their individual skills and talents and by provoking a willingness to articulate ideas and to engage critical thought.
Courage—we provide an environment that allows students to take risks and to co
...nfront challenges in creative and individual ways. This environment allows students to develop a capacity to overcome and to be strengthened by experiences of adversity.
Inclusion—we are a community with multiple perspectives, representing diverse backgrounds and experiences. We welcome unfamiliar and dissenting ideas, always promoting respectful and compassionate relationships among students, teachers, and parents.
