Tessellations – The Beneventi School

About Us

For math class, students are grouped by level rather than by age. Both our children are finally challenged, and it’s wonderful to see how excited they are to go to class!

About Our School

Tessellations, a Pre-K to 12th Grade* independent, progressive school tailored for gifted students, was created in 2020 by a group of like-minded families and educators dedicated to serving the needs of the whole child.

Anne Beneventi, a nationally recognized gifted specialist and visionary educator, infuses Tessellations with her wisdom and deep understanding of the gifted population. Our talented, dedicated staff specialize in and have deep experience educating gifted children.

Our staff builds Tessellations’ curricula from the ground up. Our outstanding teachers do a tremendous job of keeping their classes engaged, strongly facilitated by our intentionally low student-teacher ratio (approximately 5:1).

Classes are held on our Main Campus in Cupertino, CA. Students also spend time at our Nature Campus, which is only a 12 minute drive away.

* Our High School opened in Fall 2024, starting with 9th Grade
