When we bring up the subject of our children’s chinuch, we are bringing up something very personal.
The Torah charges every father with the personal responsibility of giving his son a Torah education – “Veshinantam Levanecha”. Therefore, the decision of where to send my son for school is a hugely personal decision!
Which school will educate my son in the way that I, as a loving parent, would educate him? Which school will teach my son Torah with sensitivity, care, and a patient smile. Which school will instill a love for Yiddishkeit and Chassidus in my child that will last him a lifetime?
Gan Academy Yeshiva is an elementary school in Crown Heights where the Chinuch of every student is very personal!
You only need to spend a few moments in our Yeshiva to experience the warm, personable, and child-centered environment. Rabbi Zevi Posner, the Yeshiva Menahel, describes the school as “a place where every student comes feeling safe and happy, and leaves feeling safe and happy. The faculty at Gan Academy Yeshiva are exceptionally caring and in tune with the wellbeing of each student. If a child doesn’t like his lunch, or is having a hard day at school, our staff always notice and make sure that his needs are met.”
No child falls through the cracks at Gan Academy, because we make sure there are no cracks to fall through!
Our personal and nurturing approach is complemented by a thorough and well-rounded education in Limudei Kodesh and Limudei Chol. All studies are taught according to the Rebbe’s directives and meet the highest of academic standards. The Mechanchim at Gan Academy Yeshiva are well known for their Chassidishe warmth and dedication. They invest every fiber of their being into the Chinuch of their students, helping them to develop a love for learning and an authentic Chassidishe passion.
This passion is not limited to the confines of the classroom. The entire building is permeated with a Chassidishe atmosphere, thanks to our dynamic Tzivos Hashem program and exciting celebrations on every Yoma D’pagra. In addition, regular Mivtzoim, Tanya Baal Peh, Chidon, and many other initiatives, ensure that each child develops and cherishes his identity as Hashem’s soldier and the Rebbe’s Chossid.
Another standout quality of Gan Academy Yeshiva is the warm culture of friendship and kindness that runs through the school. This really starts from the top down. The school directors, teachers, and staff, treat every student with tremendous sensitivity, and respect. This creates a warm, safe, and friendly environment, and cultivates acts of kindness among the students, leaving little room for hurtful behavior or bullying. In the rare event that a bullying issue does arise, it never goes undetected, and is always addressed immediately.
Over this past school year, Gan Academy Yeshiva has grown and blossomed under the leadership of our new director, Rabbi Moshe Lieblich. With more than 20 years of Chinuch experience, Rabbi Lieblich has wasted no time in cultivating an inspiring culture of growth within the school, enhancing the learning experience for every single student.
Rabbi Lieblich explains “as a parent, it is important to ask yourself the following question: ‘Would I, as an adult, be interested in sitting through hours of forced education without much fun or excitement?’ If your answer is no, then we have to ponder why we make our kids do just that?! Surely school should be a place of joy for a child, not a place of dread!
The key here is to shift our focus away from forcing children to learn, and focus instead on inspiring children to learn. A child should feel that ‘I get to go to school, not I have to go to school’. This is our focus at Gan Academy Yeshiva. By creating a culture of growth within a fun learning environment, we help each student become excited and motivated to learn, grow, and succeed.
On a practical level, we do this by emphasizing the value of the Torah subject they are learning, and focusing on helping each child master the subject, rather than just finish pages. The students are encouraged to master one line, five lines, ten lines etc. so that they see themselves growing day by day, and feel more and more accomplished. The results speak for themselves!
In addition, we put lots of effort into making Gan Academy Yeshiva an enjoyable place to be, laying the ground for each student to flourish. Every single lesson is interactive and engaging, and the boys have access to a basketball court, soccer area, a fully equipped games room, as well as lots of exciting trips, incentives, and rewards.”
As we approach the upcoming school year, we invite you to seize the opportunity to enroll your son in Gan Academy Yeshiva, where he is guaranteed to develop a love for learning in a warm and personal environment.
