SCDS Montessori Program Reviews and Testimonials

Dear Shaarei Chinuch,

"You look inside each child to find out what makes him/her tick. You take that knowledge and use it to help each child grow and blossom in so many ways. You help them learn skills that will stand them in good stead not only in elementary school but throughout life."

Ilan and Miriam Arlin
"Our son has blossomed under your guidance and love. When a child has a positive experience at a young age, it influences their direction for the years to come. Thank you for pointing our child in the right direction!"
                                                                                                   Natasha and Mitch Goldberg
"Our kids feel the warmth from the teachers and are able to grow with the care they put into each student. We are so happy Chicago has this school option available."

Bracha Minkowitz
"We were calm knowing that each and every day, our son went into a warm and loving environment that encouraged him to grow at his own pace."                                                                                                      
Shlomo and Devorah Soroka
"The teachers are kind, caring, attentive and creative. They foster an environment where the children love to come to school every single day."

Natan and Galina Shir
"My kids have blossomed at Shaarei Chinuch. They have grown by leaps and bounds both in limudei kodesh (Judaic studies) and limudei chol (secular studies). They have forged a strong sense of Jewish identity, gained self confidence, and formed meaningful friendships. Shaarei Chinuch’s educational model of step by step learning to the point of mastery really fosters a sense of competence and independence, laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning."

Talia Zisook
"SCDS is the best choice we made for our daughter who is independent and imaginative. Her love of learning has blossomed since joining and her teachers certainly appreciate her strengths and personal style of learning. The continuous updates on our daughter set our minds at ease that she is well taken care of and also guide us in how she is improving in her work at school."
                                                                                                    Yael Sofer and Shalom-Ber Chernyak
"Your dedication and achievement have gone so far! Your school is at the top professionally, yet with the warmth and personal investment of a backyard camp. Our son has thrived in so many ways because of it. You and your school have made an everlasting change that will carry him through school and life in a way that no other place could. Thank you!"
                                                                                                   Mordechai and Leah Kustiner
"The spark in our son's eyes when he learns something new, the smile on his proud face, the excitement that is tangible, are priceless. Thank you for lighting up his neshama (soul) and giving him the gift of the love of learning!"
