Finance and Entrepreneurship is one of the signature programs and our son as a 7th grader was able to get a little taste of it and is excited to learn more. Milken is also passionate about growing the athletic program and has already added a new weight room and indoor training facility at the new campus.

My son is involved in sports, robotics, service learning, high-level classes and music. He is busy every day of the week and loving every minute of it. Our younger kids have already told us that they don't want to look anywhere else for high school. We couldn't be happier.

The families that attend Wise have similar values and goals for their children and bring diversity and warmth to the community with their cultural backgrounds. The administration has been extremely supportive during the pandemic, with a flexible and balanced approach to ensure as normal as possible of an elementary school experience for the kids. The head of school communicates with parents on a weekly basis to ensure transparency as well as to accept feedback from the community. Wise is a leader amongst other schools, tuned-in with the needs of like-minded families and operating from a place of reason. I know our children will leave Wise with a strong sense of self and confidence as kind young adults armed both academically and socially to handle whatever lies ahead.

Pam Kleinman and Tami Wiser are the roots that ground this school and care so much for the children. They work so incredibly hard to make sure that all children are getting the best possible education! All the while teaching our children how to be good people in the world. I love this school and community and feel beyond blessed to be apart of it as do my children. We actually left for a short bit because I live next to a public school. We ran back as quickly as we could there is just no comparison to private school verses public on so many levels but the one I appreciate the most is my kids are thriving at Wise because the entire staff loves what they do from the front security to the lovely girls in the front office. This is a very special community and school where everyone is happy and living their best lives.

The evil I experienced at this school in 1990 was breathtaking, and by today's standards would have lead to this school's closure with all the social media video to back up my assertions. I almost committed su***de that year. "We let the children work out their problems themselves" was the mantra. No relief. No protection. Just the infliction of pure cruelty .... while the "adults" stood by and watched. Tho they ALWAYS stepped in to punish me when I tried to fight back. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members." -Mahatma Ghandi. This quote follows me - haunts me to this day, BECAUSE of Buckley School.

I'm a minority and certainly not rich. Like anywhere, you get back what you put into it. It's not hard to make friends with other parents when you're open to it and friendly yourself. Principal Trent is a no nonsense principal, which I really appreciate. Do parents really not understand how hard it is to navigate parents, students, teachers, staff and the school district? I find her to be very reasonable and there is no question in my mind that she cares deeply for our students. She is active on campus, always interacting with the students and knows all their names! She is truly a positive force on campus and I've never seen her be anything but respectful to anyone she interacts with. The teachers and staff are great! And I don't give them extra gifts or food beyond what our class gives as a whole, but I do try to say "Hello" when I see them and "Thank you" when deserved-which is not a lot to give or ask for. Not only do I love Roscomare, but so does my child. IMO, it's a 10/10 school!

We feel incredibly grateful to have been part of Emek Hebrew Academy for so many years. All four of…read moreour children attended Emek, and looking back, choosing this school was one of the best decisions we have ever made as parents. From the very beginning, Emek provided our children with a warm, nurturing, and structured environment where they felt safe, supported, and truly cared for. The teachers are not only knowledgeable and professional, but also deeply invested in each child's personal growth. They take the time to understand every student's strengths, challenges, and personality, and that individual attention makes a huge difference. Academically, our kids received a strong education that prepared them well for the next stages of their lives. The curriculum is thoughtful, challenging, and balanced, combining strong general studies with meaningful Jewish education. Our children learned how to think critically, work hard, and take pride in their achievements. At the same time, they were never just treated as "students," but as whole people. Socially and emotionally, Emek truly shines. Over the years, our children made real friendships that lasted beyond the classroom. They learned how to respect others, work as a team, handle responsibility, and develop confidence in themselves. The sense of community among students, families, and staff is something special and not easy to find. One of the things we value most is the strong foundation of values Emek instills. Our children learned kindness, respect, integrity, responsibility, and connection to their Jewish identity in a meaningful and positive way. These lessons were not just taught, but modeled daily by the faculty and administration. As parents, that gave us tremendous peace of mind. The administration is approachable, responsive, and genuinely cares about the families. Communication has always been clear, and we felt listened to whenever we had questions or concerns. You truly feel like a partner in your child's education rather than just another parent on a list. Watching all four of our children grow, mature, and thrive through their years at Emek has been incredibly rewarding. Each child had their own unique journey, yet all of them walked away with strong academics, lifelong friendships, and solid values that will guide them throughout their lives. We highly recommend Emek Hebrew Academy to any family looking for a school that combines excellent education, strong values, and a warm community. Emek didn't just educate our children -- it helped shape who they are today, and for that, we will always be thankful.
