  Where to begin? So many positive attributes to this school, its difficult to review briefly...
  We have only been at the school for 2 years so far but from the get-go we felt it was 100% the right decision for our family!
  We heard only GREAT things about the school, the location is most convenient, affordable in comparison to other private schools, so it was a no-brainer!
  Our children settled in easily as they were welcomed with the warmth of the entire school community and as parents we have also felt welcomed and relieved that it has been such a smooth transition.
  The teachers are of the highest caliber and put so much love and attention in to each student.
  The facilities are fabulous, modern and very safe.
  We are very excited for the renovations to be complete!

  Love this school.
  Very inclusive community, kids are extremely happy and only wish there was a secondary campus opening soon!
  Can’t ignore the value for money - costs half of other private Jewish schools

  This school looks great! They are great as presenting a beautiful picture of how a traditional Jewish school should look like. However, folks sorry to disappoint you...looks can be very deceiving.
  
  We shall begin our journey with how terrible the culture is within the school. How there is a clear issue with certain coordinators and "superiors" who are clearly unfit for the job they have. Regular complaints from staff and parents which are not heard or actioned.
  
  The politics that goes on "behind the scenes" within Sholem is unheard of. Such a "prestige and private" Jewish school where the staff complain about the way "Management" goes about things...Does not reflect a school who can manage children in a professional capacity.
  
  Moving on to how the "Management" communicates. Let me tell you, they don't. Personal experience.
  
  The staff complain to parents about the lack of communication and support they receive from "Management"
  
  To add to this picture, let me try to elaborate on the kind of "kinder assistants" they hire. Well, whilst they have already applied for funding without your knowledge and charge you private fees they provide your child with substandard kinder assistants. A lot of them have no formal education and some of the others are still studying, there are of course some who are actually very talented and great at what they do, unfortunately management does not see that.
  
  They have also had people come in from "SKIF" also without any formal education in childcare. This is whilst you are still paying private school fees.
  
  They are more than happy to take your money and send you to debt collectors and charge you interest and late payments and "security levy's" and a whole bunch of other things like "You have to buy fruit for the class at least 2-3 times a year on top of everything else you pay. You won't get your monies worth. It is Disgraceful and the school should feel embarrassed.
  
  The principal will avoid your phone calls, and avoid any pro-activity when it comes to your child. She will ring you on the weekend without a call back number and exclude your child from school if is it deemed difficult to "sort out" and have someone else deliver that news to you. They will organise meeting after meeting after meeting with no substance or action plan, they are good at looking like they are being productive.... Again Personal experience.
  
  Oh and if you have a child or have enrolled that child in kinder/school and have paid the $900. You will never see it again. They will come up with an excuse as to why they won't pay it back to you. Just Sayin.
  
  I do not recommend Sholem Aleichem College to anyone who has strong values and want the best for their children. Unless the "management" changes drastically and together with everything mentioned above I wouldn't waste my money on an extremely expensive babysitting service.
