Yavneh Academy of Dallas Reviews

This review is coming from the real Christopher Brons. I have worked for Akiba Academy, Yavneh Academy, and now AkibaYavneh Academy since 2012. It has been an honor to work for this amazing institution as they seek to provide the best Jewish education possible for the children of Dallas. From the Head of School, to the teachers, to the support staff (that includes Erica Morenoff,) you won t find a group of people more committed to the values of providing a top-notch Jewish education to its students.

As I was reflecting on Rosh Hashanah about the positive changes in our lives this year, my preschoolers joining Akiba was near the top of the list. They love going to school in the morning and are very proud to show off their art projects and the songs they learned (often related to Jewish holidays). No question this was the right decision for them. In preschool, they get separate gym class, art class, music class, etc, and the teachers are very attentive and caring. They are joining their big sister, now in second grade at Akiba, who also loves the school.

We have requested that Google remove any fake posts immediately and are awaiting review.

Akiba is a school unlike any other. The teachers and principals are incredible and caring people who always are looking out for you. What they teach is not only very educational, but also they have taught me so much about how to successfully live my life with Torah and Judaics at the core. I have learned so much that will help me achieve my dreams and help me pull through the darkest of nights and forge the brightest of days. Some of the kids who attend Akiba may not realize the amazing life skills we have received throughout the years and focus on the negative aspects. I do not blame them because it is human nature. Hopefully, they will later realize everything that Akiba has taught us. Akiba might have some minor adjustments that need to be made, but so does every school. As a current 8th grader attending Akiba I could tell you school in general ain t always fun, but at Akiba you experience such meaning and depth that you will become a better person and have a more successful life.

Speaking as a current 8th grader, this school is good academically, but overall had a bad experience with it. The classes are boring to the core, the policies get dumber and dumber each year. Kids are real snotty to each other. The older you get, the less privileges you have. Instead of actually having a study hall period we are given an online class teaching us how to behave online and the Jewish aspect of it. It might sound decent, but it is one of the most useless things I have devoted 15 weeks of my life. Some teachers are good, others are really bad. The dress code is so strict, I once had to change socks because my socks where to bright (my socks were white). School starts at 8 and ends at 4:15. We get a ton of homework. The new middle school principle is extremely annoying. He walks around all day saying stupid jokes, and just brings a bad attitude towards me. Davening and Mincha should be optional it takes about a full hour of our day. The only problem I guess with optional Davening is that no one will go, which shows you how bad it must be. This is a genuine review about Akiba Academy, and I'm not just saying all this because of "I hate school blah blah" I truly had a very unpleasant time here, I think this was a waste of money, and time.

A beautiful event from A to Z. if kids are a reflection of the education they have received over the past 8 years (and earlier), this is a certificate of excellence to our school. it was a warm (maybe a little too warm physically,,,:) and welcoming event. Thank you Akiba Academy for all you do for our kids and for the community as a whole.

What a wonderful place to go up. This is where I went to high school - the people really care. The teachers, faculty, etc, you won't find a more loving and caring bunch to Shepard your children to adulthood!

We're so happy to have our three kids at Akiba! What an incredibly warm and enriching scholastic experience our children are having. The teachers and the administration go out of their way to make sure every child reaches their potential.

If you are going to hire people to work at an organization founded on education. You probably should make sure they can read, and understand information accurately. Clearly Erica Morenoff is not capable of doing so. Wouldn t recommend educating my children here if they are going to continue to hire unqualified individuals.
