The Shefa School

The Shefa School is a new Jewish community day school in Manhattan, currently serving students in grades 2-8. Shefa will ultimately enroll children in grades 1-8 who would benefit from a specialized educational environment in order to develop their strengths while addressing their learning challenges. We specifically serve students with language-based learning disabilities who have not yet reached their potential levels of success in traditional classroom settings. Shefa is a pluralistic community school serving families across the range of Jewish involvement and observance.Even among the excellent schooling options available to families, there existed an unmet need at the nexus of Jewish day schools and secular special education schools. Shefa fills this gap by offering families in the tri-state area a new choice: a school providing excellent research-based instruction to children with language-based learning disabilities, seamlessly integrated with Jewish community, culture, and traditions. At the Shefa School, students experience a comprehensive Jewish-values based education that prioritizes each individual child's learning needs.To learn more about Shefa, please email [email protected].
