Top 5 Reasons to Choose Golda Och Academy

By Liz Cohen, Current School Parent

1. Top-notch academics combined with Jewish culture, identity, and Hebrew

GOA offers everything we wanted in a secular school – thoughtful teachers, amazing technology and science offerings, challenging curricula – as well as everything we wanted in a Jewish school – learning to speak Hebrew, celebrating the holidays, and studying texts.

2. A committed, warm community

Families at GOA come from many different Jewish backgrounds but are all committed to an inclusive, modern Jewish education. Choosing Golda Och made our transition to the suburbs so much easier!

3. Educational philosophy

The first time I met Lower School Principal Carrie Siegel, I knew I wanted my kids in her school. The way she talks about education, child development, and what excellent teaching looks like is the very height of what any parent would want.

4. Amazing facilities

Golda Och Academy is so much more than a building, but the building also matters! The state-of-the-art science lab is my son’s favorite part of the school, and the kids love the outdoor garden.

5. Affordable

When we thought about staying in Brooklyn, one of our biggest issues was where to send our kids to school. The local day school had a price tag of almost $30,000! I loved that not only did GOA offer lower tuition than NYC day schools, but the transparency of the financial aid system means that any family can determine the kind of help they can expect.
