What we found was even more than that--a community where teachers truly know and care about each student and where kids feel comfortable pushing themselves in new directions. Since joining Bement, my daughter has taken up basketball--something she would never have tried before. The team trains every day, and they take their games seriously, but what stands out the most is the way she's grown through it. She's learning to work hard, handle wins and losses with confidence, and, most importantly, enjoy the process. It's been amazing to see her build resilience and discover the joy of competing as part of a team. What we love most is that every day at Bement is filled with art, music, sports, diverse cultures, and a deep sense of care for one another. We are grateful to be part of the Bement family and encourage other families to discover the opportunities this special school offers. --- Patricia Kung

My 16 year old son and I came on a hot day in August 2022 for the 10:00am information session and…read more11:15am campus tour. This is a top-notch small liberal arts college (about 1,800 students come from 49 states and other countries) with a gorgeous campus. The hilltop view of the Connecticut River in the distance is worth the visit! The campus has a nice mix of architectural styles with a world-class natural history museum. Afterwards, getting lunch in the town of Amherst was convenient - the proximity of restaurants in town within walking distance is a plus for Amherst students. Amherst still requires KN95 mask wearing for indoor building access and requires you to show your COVID-19 vaccination card. If you don't like this policy, that may be a sign that Amherst College is not for you. In any case, it's well worth a stop here if you're looking at small liberal arts colleges. One star is removed for not having a short restroom break during the tour. Also, the information session auditorium was difficult to find and about a 10 minute walk from the admissions office.

This College was a lot better than I expected.I went to an information session and campus tour to learn about the college for my daughter. What I learned was that they have an open curriculum and they focus on undergraduate studies and accept a student body of 1800. Their financial aid is based not on a merit system it's based on finances. The campus has newly built science center and they have the most incredible Beniski Natural Sciencecience museum!!! I didn't have a chance to go ahead and look throughout the entire museum but this is definitely on my list to come backbut they had a huge skeleton of a mammoth and that already made me fall in love with this museum. They had a great student center which house a lot of movie nights and other cool things on campus. There ihave one dedicated food Hall of the Valentine because the person who cooks there is named Valentine... I think. And they have an amazing athletic center which a humongous track and field which is the state of the yard. They have new dorms for upperclassmen and the underclassmen resides in the center square.I definitely think it's worth visiting they also have arts museum to which I didn't have a chance to look at but again I'm on my list to visit. Also this is a very inclusive College.

We have been so impressed with the things our 3yr old has learned, things I never would have thought she could do at this age, like cleaning her own crumbs off the table; her eagerness to help out with any spills that occur; correctly putting away the cutlery in the drawer when we empty the dishwasher, singing about the continents, etc. She impresses us all the time with what she has learned at school. She loves going and learning as well as having time to play with her friends and get outside. They learn real life skills and lessons. We couldn't be happier!

When I learned that Miss Dottie used to run the lab school at UMass, I was sold. I feel that people who teach aspiring teachers are up to date on best practices and truly dedicated to the field. We have been very pleased with the school. They have a really great staff to student ratio. There are a lot of interns from UMass, which is very exciting for the children. The class is incredibly diverse, with almost all of the children speaking different languages at home. I would highly recommend it!
