Michelle Rubin’s Story

It's true that at school, my children benefit from lessons about values, character and leadership...as well as math, science and literacy. But there are intangible benefits. Camp counselors, rabbis...even birthday party staff notice that RJA kids stand out for their leadership, respectfulness and good behavior. They always ask "where do these kids go to school," and I am always proud to answer them.

What the kids learn at school really works. This has been so evident with my daughter Miranda's transition to Wydown Middle School. She integrated into a new environment with ease. She has done exceedingly well socially and academically. When we met with her teachers at conferences, they praised her preparation for the whole middle school experience.

Choosing which grade school to send our girls was one of the most difficult decisions, but I honestly feel it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Thank you to everyone who makes our school what it is!
