Sinai Akiba Academy Reviews

We have two children currently attending Sinai Akiba Academy and we have been very happy there. The teachers, both general AND Judaic studies, have been warm and nurturing and very supportive of both my kids..I have also found the administration to be very helpful. The lower school principal in particular has been so caring towards my kids. She really does know every kids name! I have a middle schooler too who has been very happy with the new facility and the classes she is taking. I personally love the K-8 school concept. I read one of the other parent reviews who commented on the parent's being cliquish, but I would respectfully disagree. I have found nearly everyone to be friendly and warm.

What an incredible place to learn! The combination of stressing values and academic excellence creates an amazing environment and incredibly impressive students and human beings.

I have been in Sinai for eight years and I have made some of the best memories ever. I have made the best friends there and my teachers are the best. I highly recommend SAA.

My son attended Sinai Akiba from kindergarten through sixth grade. Almost all of his general studies teachers were excellent. While the staff are, in general, warm and caring, the parent body is highly cliquish and unwelcoming to those not in the 'in' group.

Sinai Akiba has a solid and nurturing elementary school. Although the children learn a lot abuot the Jewish Holidays in the Jewish Studies part of the day, the Hebrew curriculum is uneven at best.In the middle school, at least this year (2005-2006), the Jewish Studies is very uneven. The secular subjects are taught by competent teachers. The electives are limited because of the dual curriculum.

Speaking for the kindergarten the school is incredibly organized with a lot of enrichment activities and a dedicated group of parents. The religious education is low key but comprehensive. I wish we lived close enough to take full advantage of the temple activities because it truly seems to be a supportive and comprehensive community for those able to participate.

The preschool has left much to be desired.
