Carmel School

Can you tell me about the Jewish school? What do parents think? Is it strict? Are the standards high? do the chidren like going there?

Hi, my son joined Carmel in Grade 6 this year and I am very pleased with it, and so is he. He's made new friends very quickly and adapted to a change of tuition language and school environment thanks to everyone involved: principal, teachers, students. We are not jewish, so if you mean "strict" in terms of the religious aspect of the school, i cannot really say (the Middle school has an "international" section open to non-jewish students, which is where my son is).

The curriculum is American and accredited by the Western Association of Schools & Colleges. Carmel is a small school, with small calsses, which I think allows for a closer monitoring of the students. I found teachers are very dedicated and always available to discuss your child's progress.

If you are jewish and a member of the JCC, I suggest you talk to members there, they'll have heaps more to say!
