Raising Jewish children in today's atmosphere is not simple. Assuring that my children know who they are and where they come from is more important now than it ever has been. This school is educating my children both academically and spiritually, instilling strong values that I know will propel them forward in life to be kind, collaborative, respectful, manches who have strong independence, and critical thinking skills.

Our son has been going to Ilan Ramon Day School for over four years and absolutely loves it! Not only has he developed a true interest in learning, but he loves playing with kids across all grade levels. It's so nurturing and has such a caring staff. There is a true sense of community like one I've never experienced before. Parents are so supportive and there for each other, an extended family. We have made life long friends and I'm so grateful to have discovered this gem of a School.
