As long as you are torahdik, growing people that sounds like the right type!

Because it's new, the first year is always hard to convince anyone to send because they were totally unknown, the second year is still too much unknown... by now they have a good name. Most new schools start out with the first 2 grades being very small and then people switch in later and the older grades grow too once they are established. My daughter is the second to oldest grade in her school, they started with 15 girls and now have two classes with 25 each in that grade.

I don't send my kids. I know people on the staff. The school is small because it's new and they are being selective. It is not a dumping ground - they are careful with the families that they take. The hashkafa is excellent - Rabbi and Mrs. Cohen are amazing people.

They have a video online regarding the name change. I believe the name was changed to Shiras ruchama named after the owners grandmother.
The school is extremely warm and gives individual attention to each child. I think they would like to keep the school on a smaller scale to continue to do that.

My friend sends there. She is thrilled. She is a bybp graduate light chasidish. Sounds like the school is a nice mix of diff people in the community. The school very much makes sure every girl is seen and doing well. Good luck!
