It was posted in March likely when everyone was a bit stressed out and nobody had any idea how things would play out.

I had heard from so many people how tedious, confusing, and painful their process was for obtaining a mortgage. My response to them was always the same. Working with Jan and her team made the entire process a piece of cake. I kept waiting for the hard part but it never came! Jan walked us through all of the paperwork. Her team sent me detailed bullet lists of financial documents needed and followed up with me to ensure they had everything they needed at every step. Someone at Diamond was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and peace of mind. If you value your time and appreciate working with professional, courteous, and knowledgeable people then look no further. I will strongly recommend Jan and her team whenever I can.

Jessica and Daniela are on her team and they are very organized and intelligent ladies who know their jobs. They fought for us until we signed the last paper and we wouldn't go through anyone else.

We are in the district for a high school that has an amazing reputation, but it's massive. Both my…read morehusband and I went to small private high schools so were a little nervous about the size of our high school and encouraged our daughter to check out the local private schools. I didn't have RZ on our radar since we are far from religious, but after hearing so many great things from friends who had sent their kids figured it was worth checking out. My husband and I went to a parent meeting and were super impressed with the staff we went and warmth of the school. We had visited other schools, which seemed great too, but this one really stood out. As we walked out my husband turned to me and said "how do we convince her to check this out?" When I first brought up the idea of touring RZ my daughter was not into it. I finally agreed to get her to look at it back in the fall with some type of bribery- always works wonders with 13 year olds. Their incredible admissions director, Staci, and a few inspiring students took an hour to show us around. I, once again, was incredibly impressed with the warmth from both the faculty and students. It really felt like one big happy family. We walked out of the tour and my daughter surprisingly said "I'm probably going to high school with my friends, but i liked RZ enough for you to sign me up for a shadow day" Shadow day arrived and she gave me a really hard time on the drive there saying that she wasn't sure why we were wasting our time when she clearly wasn't going to end up there. I dropped her off and braced myself for a pout face when she walked out later that day. Staci checked in halfway thru thru the day to let me know she was having a great day, but still I wasn't sure what to expect. I pulled up at the end of the school day (no carline by the way since it's such a small school and the majority of the population drives) and my daughter walked out with the biggest smile on her face carrying a water bottle full of candy from teachers. She got in my car and said "That was SO much fun! I think I might want to go to school there!" She couldn't stop talking about how nice and welcoming the kids were at RZ. While I had worried that each grade was so small, she seemed to get to know kids from all different grades and I loved the idea that they mix so much. When I asked her why it was so fun her response was "it almost feels like camp." (and she loves nothing more than her summers at overnight camp). After that we attended a few other RZ events from interviews to curriculum night. She walked out of her interview with the athletic director and informed me she would not only be playing tennis at RZ, but possibly basketball too. I reminded her she hadn't dribbled a ball since 3rd grade and she responded "well they told me anyone can play basketball at RZ." At curriculum night we were wow'd by the passion of the teachers and offerings. Even the jewish studies classes seemed fun. The curriculum was interesting and challenging and the faculty amazing (special shoutout to Staci who went above and beyond to get to know our family). However, what really stood out were the kids who go to the school. They went out of their way to reach out to my daughter to show their love for RZ and every conversation left me thinking "I hope my kids turn out like them when they are in high school." She was incredibly torn between RZ and our local high school and before spring break we forced her to make a decision. My husband loved RZ so much he wanted to just tell her to go, but I felt like it was important for her to make the decision for freshman year (and if necessary we could weigh in sophomore year). Ultimately, she decided to go to our public high school because she wanted to experience the big high school experience, but the fact that she ended up so torn (after being so anti private school) shows what a special place RZ is. I'm hopeful that my daughter has a stellar freshman year, but am thrilled to know that if we want a smaller environment where she'll get more attention (or perhaps her younger brothers) RZ is an amazing option.

The decision to send them to Rochelle Zell Jewish High School has been one of the best we've made as a family.

The warm and nurturing environment at RZJHS is truly unique; the teachers genuinely care about the students, providing individualized attention and support that goes above and beyond what you'd find elsewhere.

We would never knowingly operate a school while rodents were present in our classrooms or allow our students to be placed in an unsafe environment. I understand that people may have different experiences, and if you or your child have genuinely had a negative experience with CDSA, I am more than willing to hear your concerns and address them appropriately. However, making false claims about our school is not acceptable. If you are referring to Cory Douglas Scholastic Academy, you are welcome to share your name or your child's name so that I can verify whether your child ever attended our school.

While these have their merits, if you're interested in learning how to become a musician, with a foundation in technique, theory and performance, I couldn't recommend MIC highly enough. My teachers have been experienced, professional musicians who have performed with other professional musicians. Consequently, as performers, they are high caliber musicians. My current teacher is certified to teach the RCM curriculum, one of the few internationally recognized curricula for students who want to be qualified at increasing levels of proficiency. While I'm not seeking the RCM qualifications, I know that my teacher is teaching me to a professional standard. Her youngest student is 4, and I've seen how gentle and encouraging she is with that student. I'm multiples of 4, and she's gentle and encouraging with me as well!
