[quote=Anonymous]It is such a lovely school! I would characterize the academics as balanced. It’s not a pressure cooker like a big 3/5 school, but there is enough academic rigor to keep bright students engaged. For math and Hebrew, students are grouped by ability by the 3rd grade. Most math students use Math in Focus, and the advanced students use Beast Academy. In General Studies students learn research skills from an early age, and writing is a regular part of both language arts and social studies activities. There is a fair amount of project-based learning, which the kids seem to like. A unique offering of the school is design lab. In this regular special students learn problem solving skills in a maker space-type environment. I also appreciate that students get lots of opportunity for regular movement—recess, PE, and Israeli dance. [/quote]
