Our children love school! I have 2 older children who attended other school and I never ever heard them say that. The two children currently in Akiba are learning more then I could ever imagine. I am thrilled with the curriculum and the teachers. The school is run by caring teachers and its very obvious they love their jobs.
My three children have all attended Akiba-Schechter since they were one-year-olds and we went to the fun parent/tot program together. My oldest is now in 7th grade. Akiba-Schechter manages to create a environment where kids are happy to go to school and are instilled with a love of learning. Bible study is actually fun. Akiba manages to run a dual curriculum that sends kids to compete at the regional science fair as well as make them well-versed in Jewish studies. Teachers and staff are always accessible and work hard on innovative programming and addressing any concerns parents might have. My children are treated as individuals and supported in such a way that builds on their strengths and helps them manage and improve their weaknesses.
Our family loves Akiba-Schechter. Our kids have been a part of Akiba from preschool through elementary and are about to enter middle school. The preschool is warm, creative and a lot of fun. There is almost no turnover in the preschool faculty, who (quickly) become extended family to your children and you. The elementary/middle faculty are likewise excellent. We chose Akiba because we wanted a secular education that would prepare our kids for any high school, immerse them in a second language from 1st grade (Hebrew), and provide a thorough education in Judaic studies. No easy task, but Akiba excels on all fronts. Kids learn in small, multi-aged groups, and learning is infused with Jewish values. And our modern lunar-themed playground gives students the well-deserved chance to let loose.
Akiba-Schechter is quite simply a phenomenal institution. Our 4 children have experienced both the preschool as well as the elementary school. They couldn't be happier at school and we couldn't be happier with their progress. Whether its Science, Math, English, the Arts or Hebrew language, we are amazed by the scope of our children's education. Most importantly, they are taught in a wonderfully supportive and creative manner.
