Alumni Testimonials
“The difference between my classmates’ approach to school and my own is that my classmates do their best work only if they know it’s going to be graded. Schechter Manhattan taught me to do my best no matter what.”
Aliza Y., Class of 2009
“At Schechter, we learned to question, to use our judgment, and to make good choices based on what we learned. Our teachers started by guiding and supporting us. But we are the ones who continue the process of growing as students, adults and people.”
Lauren K, Class of 2011
“I came to Schechter Manhattan in third grade. I soon realized that learning at Schechter Manhattan was nothing like learning at any other school. Going to Schechter Manhattan made me discover how much I love to learn.”
Sarene S., Class of 2010
“At Schechter Manhattan, I learned to respect the opinions of others, while still standing up for what I believe. I gained the support of my friends, and learned how to support them while living by the many values that we share.”
Yael S.,Class of 2011
“I appreciate the teaching style at Schechter Manhattan. The interactive approach to learning made me more interested in my learning, more creative in my work, and taught me how to make connections between my learning and my life experiences.”
Mia S., Class of 2010
“You don’t find many schools where the entire grade functions as a family. We supported each other, challenged one another, and were comfortable to make mistakes. My family at Schechter enabled me to flourish as a person and a learner.”
Eliane S., Class of 2010
“At Schechter, you’re known for who you are. As I look back on the first day of kindergarten, I remember the shy little girl that I was. Now I am full of confidence because of the supportive community we have at Schechter.”
Marni W.,Class of 2010
“My time at Schechter Manhattan gave me confidence in lots of areas in my life, but specifically helped me connect to the Jewish part of myself.”
Shayna D., Class of 2010
“Schechter Manhattan taught me that each person is a significant member of the group. They taught me to believe that I am part of a community of people who believe in me and value my role.”
Talia S., Class of 2011
“At Schechter, constructing and organizing essays became second nature to me. The research papers we did twice a year in middle school helped me greatly because they were always broken down into steps, from note cards to outlines to drafts to finished product. In ninth grade, I saw many classmates struggle to write a simple paragraph, which made me feel very accomplished.”
Layla M., Class of 2010
