This is part of the ongoing efforts of Yeshiva to provide training for our parents and faculty.
Yeshiva Schools’ parents, students, teachers, and administration have united in the mutual goal of realizing outstanding potential in the most challenging of circumstances!
Guided by the vision of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his emphasis on outstanding education for every child, the school has successfully and efficiently transitioned to online schooling, providing a wholesome and professional experience for its student body.
According to Rabbi Yossi Rosenblum, Head of School, the key to the school’s success lies in its open lines of communication. Zoom conferences are held weekly with administration, staff, and parents to evaluate and update strategies. The input, feedback, and suggestions are paramount to ensure tailored, well structured and productive learning, academically, socially, and emotionally, for all the students.
“This is a new experience for all of us,” said Mrs. Batsheva Deren, Girls School Principal of Yeshiva Schools, “we want to support the students and help them stay healthy and grounded. We are so proud of our teachers who are passionate about staying connected with students, and helping students stay connected to each other.”
“I am so proud and appreciative of the dedication of Yeshiva administrators and teachers. Online teaching presents many challenges and our staff has tackled each one with professionalism and perseverance,” said Rabbi Yisroel Rosenfeld, Dean of Yeshiva Schools, making the transition practically seamless.”
Yeshiva’s excellence has become known across the country. To date, the school has admitted 2 new students from out of state to its online program.
“Following the parents webinar I couldn’t help thinking how lucky we are to be part of such a special school. You can see the effort being put in by the teachers to ensure each child is happy, stable and learning. I feel blessed knowing my children are in good hands,” said a parent.
