Testimonials

“Although I often find myself much more educated in Judaism and Jewish studies than other Jewish teens, Schechter’s greatest strength was not its Jewish education, but the manner in which it connects its students to the Jewish community and to a Jewish identity. Half of the reason I consider myself a Jew is because of the comfort, uniqueness, and tradition of the Jewish community, and it was at Schechter that I came to feel this way.”

“Levine Academy has helped me grow as a student and as a person. It has challenged me intellectually in countless ways. The manner in which the school has embraced and encouraged me has played a large part in forming the curious and introspective person I am today.”

“Levine Academy undoubtedly prepared me for high school. It provided me with a strong background in every aspect of life - academically and religiously. To all my teachers that are still at Schechter, I am forever grateful for your patience and nurturing throughout my 8 years at Levine Academy. I am confident that I would not be here today without your guidance.”

"When I think of my experiences at Levine Academy, I remember the Robert Frost poem: 'Two roads diverged in a woods, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.' Choosing Levine Academy over other schools was a monumental decision. Levine Academy set me on a unique, wonderful, and interesting path. In Levine Academy's warm, caring environment, I developed character and a strong work ethic. I can only imagine the kind of person I would be had I not attended Levine Academy...but I do not need to - thanks to Levine Academy, I could not be happier or more prepared."

The fabulous teachers are really a privilege and a joy to not only learn from, but also have a unique relationship with. This luxury can be found at Levine Academy, unlike the vast majority of other schools. Additionally, my very best, closest, and truest friends are those I have had since my days at this wonderful school. Take advantage of the opportunity you have a such a wonderful educational institution before it passes you up!"

"After going to a secular high school for four years, I realize I am more knowledgeable about Judaism than most other Jewish teens. That is because of Levine Academy. I have been able to teach my friends, both Jewish and gentile, about my religion, something I would not be able to do without Levine Academy's Jewish education."
