Agamim Classical Academy

"My daughter attended Agamim from grade 1-3. Over this time: -there was HIGH teacher/staff turnover, including staff leaving mid year due to negative work environment (my daughter’s social worker, possibly the only positive contribution of this school, was one of these), -there was a need for daily debriefings with my daughter to discuss her bad day (practically EVERY day); she would often mention how the teacher yelled at the class frequently to correct misbehaving, and even threatened to send my daughter to the music room during lunch because she hummed while she ate, -staff did not call to notify me of a life-threatening issue where my daughter accidentally swallow 2 magnets; they resorted to emailing me instead, -I was not informed when my daughter’s actions required staff intervention, including an EXTREMELY serious instance of which I found out about on my own much later after the fact (they told me “the social worker was supposed to tell you, but then such and such happened...”), -my daughter’s teacher failed to complete an assessment required for us to have neuropsych testing performed; this process should have taken weeks, maybe months at the most, but took close to a year because she did not respond to my many requests to complete this 1 page/1-sided assessment, but only partially completed it when contacted by my daughter’s psychologist. I could go on, but I will conclude by expressing how happy and RELIEVED I am for my daughter to be freed from that negative Agamim culture! She has taken a drastic turn for the better now that she has supportive staff in her life! I am also aware that Agamim will likely delete this review once they see it since they only allow the 5-star ratings to remain on their page to make themselves look good, but I sure hope this helps at least one person make an informed decision or substantiate their concerns."

"As a teacher, one of the reasons I love teaching at Agamim is that each day I am given the opportunity to have a relationship with my students and can mentor them into being great civic leaders for our future. I do this by using classical methods and incorporating virtue education throughout the school day. This is one of the many reasons why families should choose Agamim Classical Academy for their scholar. There is no other school, even classical school like Agamim, that offers Hebrew as a classical language, genuinely immerse students in virtue in every lesson, is committed to E Pluribus Unum, and Liberty so that each scholar is given an excellent public education."

"I'm so impressed with the extreme learning and how much the staff cares about all the children. In kindergarten, my daughter is learning about the constitution, the continents, locations of the oceans, the presidents, math, reading,, science, Hebrew and so much more She is so far ahead of other kindergarten classes at other schools. Best decision I ever made was to send my daughter to Agamim!"

"We attended an open house and were so impressed with the director, passionate staff and committed parents. We had subsequent meetings and asked lots of questions! It was a hard decision. But, we made the choice to move our daughter from a neighborhood school we loved. We are so glad we chose Agamim! We love the outstanding curriculum and smart, engaged staff that works great as a team. We have found students that have a joy of learning and are working hard everyday to embrace being scholars. We have found a great fit and are grateful to the Director and Board for launching such an amazing charter school!"
