Nefesh Academy

This is the worst school I've seen. A teacher in the first grade drove my son almost to a nervous breakdown, and then the school recognized him as a developmental lagging behind. The school staff tricked me into signing the documents and transferred the child to a special class. Despite the fact that 6 months before that, he was one of the best in the Russian school. And now the school is trying to recognize the child as mentally retarded to hide the school's mistakes.

As an alumni, I look back at my secure and foundational years in Bnos Yisroel, and hope my children receive what I did.

As a former student, I know this school expels students when their families are unable to pay tuition due to financial hardship. Several students in my class, myself included, were barred from attending classes until money was collected. Many families had to ask friends and people in their shul to help their daughters attend school. I was told to complete a promissory note if I wanted to attend school again. This is an embarrassment to the community and it seems that the administration has forgotten the basic tenets of Judaism.
