Exceptional Learning Programs

The Bentley Center provides Exceptional Learning Programs that allow students to delve deeply into their areas of interest. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and enhance young students' knowledge in a variety of domains. There is no other place in Orange County offering such conceptually-advanced classes to young children. All teachers are credentialed and have previously worked with advanced learners. All classes will meet once per week for eight weeks.
