Testimonials

Menachem Mendel Academy is the school of the future. Your child will learn how to be a good, fine person according to Torah standards, who is proud of his Jewishness, proud of his existence, and proud of his addition to society. In this environment, your children will finally be able to thrive in every aspect: academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The entire concept of MMA is that no Jewish child is left behind. Every child deserves a strong foundation and will be nurtured to grow in his own way, according to the standards of Torah, so that they can better the world and make it into a greater place. The staff and educators at MMA are carefully hand-picked and each one of them is an asset and gift to the school. Because they know they are special and part of a uniquely special mission, they are going to individualize the experience for each of the children so that they, in turn, can grow as a gift to our world. This is the foundation of Torah; being a good, loving, caring, and kind person comes even before learning the Torah, and this is the basis of MMA. Yes, they will be brilliant and accomplished, but they will also be refined, skilled, humble, compassionate, and kind; all of which are critical for thriving in today’s world. Please, please send your children here, because this is the future.

I would like to congratulate Moty and Chaya Ben-Shabat and the entire team on the new school that they are establishing, may they see tremendous success! Moty and Chaya are idealistic and enthusiastic: the two ingredients it takes to create an amazing school. I am confident that they will do everything that it takes to make every child happy and every child succeed!

“Menachem Mendel Academy will welcome all Jewish students, regardless of level or affiliation. The overall concept and vision of this school is to shift the perspective that learning is boring or must fit into a specific box. Students engrossed in modern society need more options for creative, hands-on learning. I’m excited to hear that this school will help each individual student grow with Torah and mitzvahs in the unique way that Hashem created them.”

I love Menachem Mendel Academy’s holistic approach to education. MMA understands that children must be healthy and happy to learn and that information is best retained when it is relatable. Children learn in an engaged, hands-on, and meaningful manner. Academics are infused with Torah lessons and values that children really appreciate. My children are happy and growing at MMA!

We have our 11-year-old daughter, and 7-year-old son at MMA. The staff has enveloped them with love and have given them an experience like never before. The children are thrilled to go to school every single day and come home with beaming smiles. They have made their souls bright with joy. We will be forever grateful.
