Bennett Academy Of The Performing Arts

Every year her small group of children would have recitals and plays, to show all that they have accomplished. Today, Bennett Academy students have done professional work in commercials, music, film and some are great hobbyists. Many alumni have also received full & partial scholarships to their chosen university, for their musical accomplishments.
