School Reviews
5 4/5/2024
We are so glad to have selected Levine Academy for our children's private Jewish school experience in Dallas. We began with kids in the EC (preschool) and have no moved into the lower elementary and middle schools. Our kids receive excellent academics and the Jewish values that we are looking for in our community through the study of traditions, holidays, and second language acquisition in Hebrew classes. We have loved seeing their love of learning develop from their toddler years—through exploration and play—and now into their various selected electives, including STEM and robotics opportunities. If you are considering a Jewish private school in DFW, look no further!
