Founded in 1937, the Ramaz School is a co-educational Modern Orthodox day school, Nursery through 12th grade, in which intellectual growth and self-esteem are cultivated in a warm and nurturing environment. The school offers its students a fully integrated, comprehensive, and enriched program in both General and Judaic Studies. The curriculum is designed to encourage students to grow intellectually, religiously, and spiritually, while meeting the needs of a broad range of abilities. Faculty members and administrators focus on children as individuals, helping them to develop in distinctive ways. Each teacher is an educated, experienced professional, offering vital skills and talents that help create a vibrant and varied learning environment. The Hebrew immersion program begins in the Early Childhood Center, with one teacher in each classroom who speaks only in Hebrew throughout the day. Ramaz is enriched by a student body drawn from the New York metropolitan area, as well as members of different international communities. Its educational programs are most effective in an environment where children from all social and economic segments of the Jewish community grow together and learn from each other. The school is located on New York’s Upper East Side, where nearby landmark museums, cultural institutions, and political venues are integrated into the school curricula.
