Kadima Day School

Let me start by saying that Kadima more than a school. The friendship, love of life, community, the positive and creative, yet academic education is fabulous. As a parent of 3, This is my 11^th year at Kadima and we couldn’t be any happier!

When our son was almost 2, we began visiting local Jewish day schools to find an early childhood program that would suit our precocious little cutie. We probably visited 6 schools, but when we got to Kadima, we knew the search was over. From the warm welcome we received that day almost 3 years ago to the comfort we feel when we drop him off there every day, we know that this is our school, our community. Our son is learning to read and write, and also learning Hebrew — he is delighting in all of it, as are we.

I have been a parent at Kadima Day School for 6 years now. I have two children in the school. This is what I love about it…
1. The teachers and administrator deeply care for their students. I can call, email or text any one of my kids teachers and they respond quickly. In fact, if there is an issue, no matter how small, the teachers usually contact me first. In my experience they have been highly qualified. The school also provides them with continuing education programs and seminars.
2. I am very happy with the education that my kids are receiving. It goes so far beyond the State requirements. They learn critical thinking skills, foreign language, social studies, the sciences, art, technology… and then there are the morals and values they teach. They have monthly community service projects and publicly reward the kids for the good deeds they do for their own community (i.e. — making new students feel welcome).
3. The school is warm and inviting. Our children feel comfortable with kids in other grades. They watch out for each other. It is a special thing to see Middle Schoolers hang out with and take care of the Elementary school kids, forming an integrated community. It has been a great joy to spend holidays and special occasions with the families in this school. The diversity of the community has enriched our lives as people and as Jews.
if you are considering a Jewish Day School I highly recommend that you take a tour. It certainly is worth your time.
