Beth Rivkah Academy of Montreal, a premier Chabad girls school in Canada, has earned the third highest rank of all 459 schools, private and public, in the province of Quebec.
The school was also ranked as number one in the entire province for “improvement over the last five years.”
Rabbi Mendy Rosenfeld, Executive Director of Beth Rivkah Academy, proudly noted that they were the only Jewish school included in the list.
This is based on an independent analysis conducted by the Fraser Institute (a research and educational organization), which took 10 factors into account. The media, including a television crew, came to Beth Rivkah to cover the story.
“Special thanks is due to the entire dedicated staff and teachers, and our hardworking students, who are supported by a committed parent body and Board”, said Rabbi Yosef Minkowitz, longtime principal of the school.
Beth Rivkah of Montreal, which has an enrollment of over 500 girls, was established by the Rebbe sixty years ago (5716 – 1956) with a handful of students. In 5729 (1969) the school moved to its newly constructed large building on Vezina St.
A number of expansions took place over the following years. The basement and ground-floor were completely rebuilt, and an additional floor and new wing were constructed. This made space for additional classrooms, an expanded Resource Center, a gym, new lunchrooms and kitchens, an auditorium, a library, a Computer Room and Art Room.

A big yasher koach to all involved, this truly is a team effort, but at the same time special mention must be made for rabbi and Mrs Minkowitz who have been the pillars and the rock of the school for over 40 years and counting.
So happy I sent my kids to Beth Rivkah. Wasn’t sure, because we are modern Orthodox. Best decision we made. Our girls are so centered, focused, great values and knowledgeable.
Recognition must be given where it is due, a special thanks to Shlomie Lison who runs the Bais Rivka from A to Z making sure the place is running without a hitch!! You are the best keep up the amazing work you do!
