Mrs. Zaks is really nice and loves the girls like her own. She knows each and every student. The parent body is a very frum working crowd.

My daughter is very happy there. She loves school! They make learning fun and enjoyable. It's very warm. Classes are small. My daughter's grade is very mixed in terms of types. Very fine families.

I don't have children in that school, nor did I go to that school. But I was once helping a family in crisis whose children were in the school. I felt the school should be aware of what's going on in the home. I called the principal and she was sooo grateful that I called and so warm and willing to help.

Did you speak with Mrs. Zaks?

Also is it hard to get in there?

What are they looking when they interview you.

How's the academics?

The academics are amazing, probably the best from the Monsey schools. Mrs. Zaks knows exactly which type of family she wants. Ehrlich, that’s super important to her.
She is serious about mentchlichkeit, midos, etc. definitely frummer than BYOP. Let me know if you have more questions.

I went there and send my daughter now. It is an incredible school!! Warm and loving environment, they treat each girl as an individual and make learning fun. Strong emphasis on middos. My daughters class are the nicest girls-no politics, peer pressure…they’re all just friends. The teachers are fantastic!

Academics are very high but she also has amazing help for girls that need.

They look for nice middle of the road frum families.
I think BYOP is slightly more modern but can be wrong.

I sent I dc there. She is bh beautiful, smart, Social and respectful. In 6th grade something changed in the school. It was a difficult year. Some kids left. It only got worse in 7th and 8th.

I choose not to send my other girls there. Many others I know did the same.

If your kids graduated with a positive experience, consider yourself lucky.

I wanna hear more of what happened in detail.
I absolutely don't want my daughter to go through abuse of any sort.

I heard Mrs. Zaks is verbally abusive,
And that's why it's a empty school.

amother

Which grade is your daughter now?

Do they have a high-school?

My dd was effectived by the way her friends were verbally abused. Her friends left after 7th grade. They happen to be in remedial, dd was not. (Love how some Imamothers praise their remedial system)

8th grade is when it personally affected dd. My dh got a call saying that she was chutzpah. When asked for details, he was told that we didn't pay enough tuition for dd throughout her school years . The school had a bookkeeping error which was resolved after some work and proff on our part.

Because of this dd had a hell of a year. She was one of the top students, they threatened her about the graduation.

As a mom I felt so bad that we didn't pull her out after 6th grade. We should have seen the writing on the wall.

Bh dd is resilient. She is an amazing and successful person.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry you had to go thru this with your daughter.

Mrs. Zaks wasn't at help?
I heard Mrs. Zaks daughter is gonna take over.
Is that true?

Which school are you sending your other kids?
