Beit Rabban

8 West 70th St, New York, NY, 10023-0100
A vision led school, Beit Rabban Day School empowers children to think independently and solve problems creatively, nurturing a lifelong passion for Jewish life and learning.  Engagement with classical Jewish texts, active community service,  an interdisciplinary curriculum, mixed-age learning groups, and a natural Hebrew language program are combined elements that set the school apart.  Students are encouraged to become self-motivated learners, without external influences such as grades or formal tests. Located on the West Side of Manhattan, Beit Rabban has 80 students enrolled in the early childhood program and elementary school.   This non-denominational school was founded in 1991 by Dr. Devora Steinmetz who envisioned an alternative Jewish day school that would be intellectually rigorous but also progressive and creative.
