Yeshiva Achei Tmimim Schools

Our experience with Minadeo has been phenomenal. The administration, staff and teachers are all very intelligent, polite, engaged and work very hard to ensure our children have the best resources and experience at school. They communicate well and often with the school community to keep parents informed and included in school life. Any issues or concerns are addressed immediately and respectfully. We were accepted into a progressive charter school after starting at Minadeo and neither my child nor I wanted to make the switch, we are so happy to be at Minadeo. It is a wonderful experience to know your children are supported, appreciated, safe and expanding their knowledge at school. We have found all of this to be true at Minadeo.

My daughter completed K-2nd grade here before we moved from the area. Almost all of her teachers were wonderful. I liked that they had an arts and music program and that all of the kids were very welcoming to one another. We did have an issue with one of the 2nd grade teachers but other than her our experience was pretty great. their after school program was also well run.

To start with we LOVED the teachers and atmosphere for our toddler. But, we had to pull our child out due to negligent and lax COVID policies that have resulted in weekly exposures and illness among the children too young to be vaccinated. These policies are an outgrowth of the lax policies being exhibited at local shuls where masking and distancing are non-existent. This has exposed vulnerable children and adults to a cycle of disease and the administration have not only ignored parental concerns but have further relaxed rules. On two occasions we were told to get PCR tests but no one ever actually looked at them. The last draw was that they waited several days after an exposure to let the parents know and then put into place a testing schedule that would have exposed children to any additional COVID positive children for up to 4 days. The principal only responded to concerns when outed on public facebook discussion pages and refused to participate in any sort of forum with the parents the doctors who are allegedly consulting with him (no evidence of their consult has been shown to parents). This is not a school that takes health seriously.

St. Edmund's Academy is an incredible school for families looking for an educational approach that prioritizes students to be great citizens.

Supportive environment for social and academic learning. Excellent parent network. Very caring staff and teachers. Sports are present, but weak.

Three of my grandchildren have or are now attending this school with the fourth starting this fall. They have all received an excellent education, and more importantly found a welcoming, spiritual and nurturing environment in which to learn.
