Spotlight on Gan Academy – A Flourishing Garden of Education

It’s that time of the year again…

Spring is transitioning into summer, and the lush trees have reached their full bloom, reminding us of how beautiful a garden this world can be.

Summer brings joy to individuals of all ages, but undoubtedly, children are the ones who relish it the most. They love to spend endless hours laughing, running, and playing in the warmth of a sun-filled park or expansive garden. This is the time of year that they can truly be themselves – free, alive, and happy.

Such is the experience for students at Gan Academy.

Gan Academy is more than just a mainstream school in Crown Heights. It is an ‘educational garden’ designed to cultivate and tend to the growth of every student. Here, every child feels alive, free, and excited to grow in their personal journey of learning and exploration. Here, every child is perceived as a budding sapling in Hashem’s garden, brimming with limitless potential to blossom and bear fruit.

The three divisions of Gan Academy (Preschool, Girls Elementary, and Boys Yeshiva) are united by one motto and one goal – Plant. Sow. Reap. At Gan Academy we nurture each child’s social, emotional, academic, and spiritual qualities, helping them to blossom into a wholesome and beautiful, fruit-bearing tree.

To achieve this, we keep our class sizes small and our environment warm and personal. Our curricula are designed with great creativity and intentionality to ensure that each child receives a well-rounded, high-standard, and thoroughly enjoyable education, in both Limudei Kodesh and Limudei Chol.

The Gan Academy staff are deeply committed, going above and beyond their call of duty to impart a Chassidishe passion and an authentic love of Yiddishkeit in a warm, personal, and non-judgemental manner. They lead creative and interactive classes, and are incredibly attentive to the social and emotional needs of each child. Our children feel their dedication, absorb it, and absolutely love it!

In addition, the students at Gan Academy are treated to a large variety of fun and engaging extracurricular programs. Tzivos Hashem, Tanya Baal Peh, Farbrengen in a bag, celebrating Chassidishe Yomim Tovim, school trips and lots more. Our programs and incentives help instill a strong sense of Chassidishkeit in our students, as they grow to cherish their identity as Hashem’s soldier and the Rebbe’s Chossid.

At Gan Academy, social and emotional education forms an integral part of our curriculum. We have received overwhelming feedback from parents, expressing their satisfaction with the way their children learn tools for healthy communication, emotional awareness, and cultivating a healthy self-esteem.

In addition, Gan Academy takes great pride in the extraordinary culture of friendship and kindness within each of our schools. Children are taught to value and respect one another, and bullying is not tolerated whatsoever. Every child and every parent knows that bullying is dealt with properly and are very grateful for it.

Here at Gan Academy we make sure that every child feels safe, cared for, and listened to. This can be seen on the smiling faces of our students as they walk into school each morning looking forward to another exciting day of school!

As we approach the upcoming school year, we invite you to seize the opportunity to enroll your child in this beautiful garden of education, where they are guaranteed to flourish and thrive.
