Allendale Elementary School

My daughter just finished 3rd Grade here and my son just finished Kinder! This school has been great for both of them. Fun and varied after school enrichment programs, supportive administration and teachers. They helped my daughter and I through her Asperger's diagnosis and helped us develop an IEP. She went from crying and begging not to go to school to making friends and having a positive experience. She has gone to schools with higher "ratings" but this school is the best one she's ever been to.

Good overall but there are some gaps in students and faculty engagements that makes me a bit concerned.

Conte is a fantastic sxchool with great afterschool programs, teachers and challenging programs. As a prent, I love how nature and the environment are incorporated into all curriculum areas. Great school that has really turned itself around!

Speaking as the mom of a Sinai alumni, I can attest to the fabulous education and level of confidence my daughter acquired at Sinai Academy. The 1/2 hour of Hebrew they spoke each morning from K- on allowed her to excel in Latin and French at grade 6 when she moved on to middle school, achieving National Latin Scholar and AP French Scholar during high school. Most importantly though, the level of confidence she received, the awareness of helping others all became woven into her moral fabric. Now nearly finishing college, she attributes her academic and life successes, the structure and the discipline to meet her academic responsibilities, to Sinai Academy. I am not Jewish but I very much like what she was able to take away from this little gem of a school.
