I loved my time at BSM. I made amazing friends who I am still in contact today even after graduating a couple of years ago. That long with the academics makes the school a great choice for education.

Benilde-St. Margaret's is provides a lot of extracurricular options and the school spirit is very strong, but the students are often at a disadvantage when it comes to college applications because many teachers grade overly harsh and our weighted points are not enough to make up for a single bad test. I do feel that we are adequately prepared for AP exams and the rigor is good in advanced classes.
