About

Mission

Ganeinu Academy was founded to fill the need for a local Jewish Day School that can match and beat the secular education provided elsewhere, along with a robust and well-rounded Jewish education. Building on the success of the Ganeinu Early Learning Center, Ganeinu Academy nurtures the Jewish values of each child while providing a top-notch secular education. We focus on the individuality of each child, continuing the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy that is successfully being implemented in Ganeinu Early Learning Center. Our focus on arts, science and technology gives every child the ability to succeed in an ever-evolving world with a future that will require creators, inventors and thinkers.

Curriculum

Our secular curriculum is based on the NYS requirements, meeting and exceeding all recommendations. We focus on experiential learning, along with a cross-curricular focus on the arts, technology, and the sciences. Our Judaic curriculum is based on rigorous research and is culled from the best on the market. We offer the highest quality Hebrew Reading and Language levels, Chumash and other Jewish textual studies, along with Jewish holidays, values, and themes. All of our curricula are individualized, allowing students to develop their skills and progress at their own rate, with enrichment provided for those who are able, and support provided for those who need extra help, all while fulfilling the curricular needs.

Team

Our team is dedicated, dynamic, and caring. Our teachers are passionate about engaging and nurturing each child’s innate curiosity. They are experts in their fields and motivated to keep on learning and developing. Teachers regularly collaborate and work as a team, providing every classroom benefits from each teacher’s expertise. Our staff act as role models in all areas of life and form lifelong bonds with their students and their families.
