Both of our children graduated from Morasha after having spent their entire elementary school years there. Morasha is a school that has a strong sense of community, committment to each individual child and an excellent secular education. Not only did my childrens connection to Judiasm grow strong but

Morasha's artist in residence program, regular art, music, Judaica and Tefilla enhance the schools ability to provide a well rounded education. As quoted by a quidance counsler at my kids middle school, 'kids from Morasha do very well here!' And that held true for both of my children.

Morasha is a small, warm Jewish day school, with a great sense of community, where children learn and thrive in secular and sound, meaningful Jewish education. My son loved going to Morasha (K-6); recalls those years with great fondness. At Morasha children have many opportunities - in a warm, accepting

Morasha has an especially caring staff and a high degree of parent involvement/open communication. The standards/curriculum provide quality education. Transitioning to public school - socially/academically was very smooth. After graduating Morasha my son was very successful at public school, graduated middle school and high school with honors, was very confident in public speaking, Jewish/secular leadership, mentoring younger children; and was accepted at all colleges to which he applied. Morasha provided an excellent, valuable foundation to his development. Read less

Morasha is an expensive version of a suburban public school. The teachers and administrators have no particular educational philosophy or special vision of childhood. The 'Jewish' aspect of the school is limited to the mostly joyless celebration of Jewish holidays and a smattering of banal cliches.
... Read more There is almost no sense of the depth of the depths of the Jewish cultural heritage, and no sense at all of the traditional Jewish love and respect for children. The grounds consist of concrete and brown, dead shrubs; it's as barren as the Negev desert, and seems to have been designed by someone who hates children. There is next to no space for outside play. Expensive as it is, the school continually squeezes even more money out of the parents and asks them to raise money for the school. For this kind of unnurturing and imagination-killing experience, just send your child to public school. Read less
