(Courtesy of Yeshivat Shalshelet) Yeshivat Shalshelet is proud to be the first yeshiva day school for students who have language-based learning differences. At Shalshelet, our teachers, faculty and staff utilize research- and evidence-based practices to tailor-make lessons for teaching reading and writing to our students. They provide them with the confidence and tools to soar academically, social-emotionally and spiritually. At Shalshelet, learning differently makes all the difference.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we are pleased to share reflections from some of our students and parents about our incredible team:

“I used to get very frustrated, and my teachers helped me realize that if I mess up I can always try again. Shalshelet really changed my life because I’m actually able to put myself farther to becoming my best me.”

“I’m learning in a way so I don’t forget it and that is because the teachers know how to teach me. Every single day they have meetings about how to teach us. We all learn in a fun way. There’s no ‘I’m bored.’ It’s fun. I want to do more. It’s just an amazing feeling.”

“My teachers wait for me. Like let’s say we’re learning a new rule like a blend and I’m still working—she won’t move on and will do it again so I can keep up.”

“The level of attention and dedication of the faculty is exceptional. They celebrate our child’s successes right along with her.”

Shalshelet Parent

“Shalshelet truly fosters the emotional and educational well-being of the ’whole child.’ It’s not just about servicing the child’s individual learning disabilities, it’s about teaching the child to accept them, embrace them, and conquer them with the love and support of an exceptionally devoted and caring team.”

Shalshelet Parent

“We are so beyond grateful for everything that Yeshivat Shalshelet has done for our son and for us. We have seen our already amazing child thriving because of the care and dedication and individualization that his teachers have given him.”

Shalshelet Parent

“My daughter is immersed constantly in a way of learning and a way of living that is helping her live and grow not just academically, but as a person.”

Shalshelet Parent

“My daughter has blossomed in a way that I didn’t expect to happen so quickly. She understands that she just needs to learn differently, and once she realized that the people who are teaching her are teaching her differently, she has been drinking it up.”

Thank you, Shalshelet teachers, faculty and staff, for all you do every day to ensure our students reach their potential!
