Rabbi Tsaidi
gy, earth science,

and math. They also will participate in
physical education demonstrations and
conduct chemistry experiments in the
science laboratory.
The school will be open for viewing
by the parents of current and prospec-
tive students. Faculty and administrators
will be available to answer questions and
provide general information about the
school and details about specific pro-
grams.
Yeshivat Akiva, opened in 1964, is
committed to comprehensive Judaic
and secular education. It seeks to imbue
its students with a love for learning,
their heritage, and the state and people
of Israel.
Akiva's classrooms includes Internet
accessible computers as a learning tool.
The Israel connection is strengthened
by collaboration with the Kollel Torah
Mi'Tzion, a group of young families
from Israel who embody the ideals of
religious Zionism.
The school's leadership includes Rabbi
Yigal Tsaidi, educational director, and
Dr. Charles Domstein, secular studies
principal.
Two dozen alumni are parents of
Akiva students. Akiva has had more
than 300 high school graduates; nine
out of 10 high school graduates choose
to study in Israel. Many alumni and
their families have made aliyah.
