Specialties
A private, independent, co-educational school in Media, PA, for bright children in grades 1 – 8 who learn differently.
History
Established in 1970.
Benchmark School was founded in 1970 by Irene W. Gaskins, Ed.D. as a small, part-time program with borrowed classroom space. Under her guidance, it grew into a full-time, independent school, situated on 23-acres in Media, Pennsylvania. Irene Gaskins stepped down as Head of School in 2007, when Robb Gaskins, Ph.D., a former professor in reading education at the University of Kentucky, took over as Head of School.
Robb Gaskins is committed to continuing Benchmark’s emphasis on research-based, individualized instruction. Consequently, this tradition remains a fundamental component of a Benchmark School education.
