Solomon Schechter Day School

I have had the expereince of sending my children to another top-rated private school here in Albuquerque, and it just cannot compare to Solomon Schechter. This school truly meets the individual needs of the child and it is not just "lip service." This school has an academic focus, strong values, and an incredible sense of community. My children are challenged and truly cared about as people.

I love the community aspect of Solomon Schechter along with the high level of academics. Because of the Jewish Studies taught, children are taught to respect each other. Cliques are actively discouraged, as is teasing, and the other social challenges kids face in school. The 5th graders can be seen helping the Kindergarteners carry their hot lunches. It is a safe atmosphere where bullying is non-existant and kids can focus on learning rather than the pecking order of the playground.

SSDS - Albuquerque is dedicated to nurturing my children's academic, emotional, and social needs. They have a strong ethics program and very rich art, music, dance, and PE. Also wonderful opportunities for after school enrichment. Many children leave there performing well above 5th grade.

The faculty and administrations takes the time and makes the effort to address the needs of individual students. The schools tolerates diversity in personalities and backgrounds yet ensures that students meet the highest academic expectations. The combination of a warm, supportive, safe environment with a fine academic performance has made Solomon Schechter Day School a wonderful experience for my children.

My son has attended SSDS since the 1st grade. Our experience has been stellar. Not only from an academic perspective but from a community perspective. SSDS, staff, students, and other families have been like family to us...and that has been invaluable.

This is a lovely community with absolutely excellent teachers and staff. The kids see adults and other children who live with integrity and they see how crucial it is to be of good character. The academic preparation is rigorous and individualized. We are very happy that we made the choice to send our children to SSDS for elementary school.

This school is a small, Jewish Day School with excellent programs in music, art, Hebrew, and Jewish Studies. We love that it is a language emersion school. Embraces diversity and exploring all cultures and customs. A small school makes it so that each child feels very important and special. Our experience has been very positive.
