School Reviews

My son has been attending Columbia Jewish Day School for 6 years now. I can't say enough about this school. He loves it there. He looks forward to going everyday. I love it there as a parent. The teachers are the best. My son excells in math. His teachers make sure he is always challenged. They are flexible in their teaching methods which my son needs. Sometimes he needs to be taught differently then the other children in his class in order to learn the material. This is no problem for them. I would give this school an A+++!
