    I was just telling some friends how great our school is. Then I saw a bummer of a review on here,…read morebased on a short transition period, so I'm writing this. The short story is - it's a very good school run by professionals. A wonderful environment for kids who are neurodivergent or similar and have struggled in a larger school setting. It is supportive and non-judgmental, and we've found it to be a great balance of a place to learn and grow and a place to be supported and accepted. We were worried that it wouldn't be academically rigorous but found that it exceeded our expectations when our child was ready to learn. They meet all children where they are at every step of the way. Also, they do so many fun educational field trips. Here's the long version if you're interested: Our family started at Academy in 2024. That year, the old school director retired. Yes, there were staff changes. Yes, there was an interim director. Yes, it was a time of change and changes is hard especially when you are emotionally invested. Some families were so attached to the old director they didn't come back. Two years later and we're still very happily there. We found gold. Is it fancy? No. Is it exactly like a larger school? No. In areas where a child needs more support, they have it. The policy of "walk to math/language arts/science" allows them to learn subjects at a level and in a group setting difficult to access in larger private or public schools in a supportive way, whether accelerated or at a slower pace. Curriculum is solid and classroom size is excellent. As to the information concern - no. Many kids are district placements. The oversight and regulation involved in that is significant. No public school would partner with them if they broke any laws about information handling and they have placements from many districts. In May of 2024 they had just interviewed candidates for a new permanent director. I hope people will consider that Spring 2024 was just one rare season in the school's administration and while the other review was from someone that felt upset by how that transition was going, the new school director who was hired at the end of that year is awesome. I think she will be there for years to come. I never post reviews, but I hate that that review might be pushing families away from a truly excellent option for kids. To whoever you were it sounds like you felt like your school family was being ripped apart and you were afraid the whole place would be ruined, which must have been awful. Maybe you lost your job, maybe you pulled your child from the school. Regardless, please know that it is still "the little school with a big heart" and from my perspective as a very aware parent, it's in responsible hands.

    Academy Schools was a buoy for our family after several years of struggling to stay afloat. The…read morestaff are compassionate, patient, and deeply dedicated to providing an individualized education in an environment that allows many students to feel accepted and safe in school for the first time ever. I'll forever be grateful for the tools and community they provided for both my kid and myself.

    Excellent Education. Two of our children graduated from NYHS and I could not be happier with the…read morepreparation they received. There are about 65 kids in 4 grades which seems small but it works out to be an advantage to our kids in the ways that actually matter. My kids did AP and UofW classes, lots of sports, tons of extra curriculars, and grew so much over the four years. One of my kids was super interested in the Jewish part of the dual curriculum and one was less so - but both ended up loving it. Both ended up with their own authentic relationship to their Judaism which seems like one of our top goals. If I was to add one last thought to this, it's that NYHS did a great job at the subtle things that are truly important to the kids' future success and happiness. When we were looking at High Schools 5 years ago, we may not have been focused on the facets that ended up being the most important. Now we know so much more and are so thankful that we ended up at NYHS.

I appreciate how the school meets each student at their level, striving to support those who need extra help while also challenging those who are ready for more advanced work. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and are committed to their overall success. NYHS offers a fun experience for kids, with a variety of electives, a strong sports program, and engaging activities like trips, camping, Shabbatons, and team-building events. I highly recommend this school to anyone with a Jewish background seeking a quality Jewish education!
