or learning how to solve for x,” Berman said. “We want them
to think deeply about each subject they learn so they can
reflect upon them and then explain back how the things
they are learning apply to real-world conceptualization.”
Being in the new space allows for optimal environments of
course offerings that have long been in place at the school,
such as a better equipped art studio for courses like AP
Studio Art, a new theater for dramatics and new rooms to
teach instrumental music.

branches of Judaism and other faith and racial groups.
“In recent months, we know there have been splits and
culture divides in American Jewry as well as between Jews
in the diaspora and Jews in Israel,” Berger said. “But these
events do not trigger a change to our continued approach of
respecting people with different religious values and view-

differences with a respectful and civil manner and respect-
ing pluralism within Judaism has always been a part of our
educational philosophy.”

Sapeika and Jacob Fishman School Steven Freedman.
“The students report that the
space and furniture inspires cre-
ativity, innovation and independence, and they are eager and
happy to learn in these comfortable spaces,” Freedman said.
“I have parents telling me their kids want to arrive earlier
and stay at school later.”
