When we moved to Raleigh from New Jersey we were not prepared for the small size of the Jewish Community. At that time we did not have a Pluralistic Jewish Elementary School.
When I heard about the Lerner school, even though my children were all too old to attend, I decided to explore it just out of curiosity.
I observed some classes and took at tour of the school. I was impressed by the tender and sincere interest the staff took in the students. Being the parent of a child with learning issues, I was very happy to see the positive classroom management style.
If It were possible, I would have

In all the years my family has been a part of the Lerner School community we have only experienced a school that is wholly committed to its love of Israel and its mission to instill strong Jewish identity and values in our children. In addition to excellent general academics, our children participate in daily Hebrew instruction, Judaic Studies, and Tefillah. Over the years Lerner School faculty and personnel have been completely dedicated to helping our children become proud, active, compassionate, and charitable members of our local and global Jewish community. We are delighted that such as school

I am both an educator and a parent at the Lerner School. In my 17 year teaching career, I have never felt as supported and professionally fulfilled as I have the past three years. All members of our community have an important voice. Our students are energetic, happy and engaged. Our curriculum is rich and differentiated. We integrate strong academics with Jewish values and ethics. Above all else is our warm environment. As a parent, I am confident in my child's educational foundation and in our decision to be part of the Lerner family!

I am a father of 4 children who have attended Lerner from Preschool. I have spent the last 8 years in this wonderful,caring community. The school and the community surrounding it have given me much more then a post on Google will state. We are an Israeli American family which the school fosters a love for Israel that cannot be questioned. Visit the school on Israel Independence Day and you can see, hear, smell and taste the love of Israel. With a strong Judaica and Hebrew program the kids are learning necessary skills when they enter this world as a minority. They learn who they are and why they

Lerner is a fantastic school! Warm, caring teachers and a supportive environment, combined with terrific academic opportunities.
My kids are learning to speak Hebrew in preschool and are learning robotics as early as first grade!
My kids adore school. They love reading and learning, and can't wait to tell us all about the amazing things they've learned every day.

Academics and the care with which my children are treated would be enough to mark "Loved it". My children are absolutely individuals who are met on their own terms and treated with respect and kindness by the teachers and staff. The love of learning Lerner has instilled in my children I do not believe we could have gotten anywhere else. But wait, there's more! In addition to learning to be caring, compassionate members of the community at large they stand just a little bit taller as Jewish citizens of a larger world because of their experiences at Lerner. They take pride in their Judaism, their

The Lerner School is an amazing community Jewish day school focused on building community and offering a strong academic base for students. The Lerner school graduates students who see themselves as active members of the Jewish community, they have a personal connection to Israel, and students view themselves as important parts of their local communities. An education at Lerner focuses heavily on understanding and integrating Jewish values into students everyday lives. Torah and Rabbinic thought are taught through experiential and project based classes. This is mirrored by The Lerner school's focus

As a parent of 2 daughters who graduated from the Lerner school, I will say that this school helped them embrace and own an incredible pride in their Jewish Life. Our family began practicing shabbat in our house because of the school. My wife became a Jew by choice because of the nurturing of this school. My daughters, one at the American Hebrew Academy, both live engaged Jewish lives, post Bat Mitzvah. Both will visit Israel. Both have a strong sense of Connection to Israel. Our friendships, and Community have been enriched by our experience at the school. An incredible asset to the Durham Chapel

Amazing school. Sent all three of our children and we love the quality of the teachers, the nurturing environment, the academic excellence and the Jewish education. Lerner is a strong, inclusive Jewish Day School that has instilled a strong Jewish identity in our children and helped them build wonderful Jewish character. We feel they are very prepared for middle and high school and are very well versed in Hebrew, Jewish history, culture and practice, as well as math, science, english and all the other studies they need to be successful in their future.

We are now finishing up our second year at Lerner school with both a preschooler as well as a first-grader attending. The school is fantastic, nurturing, everything we could ask for. My wife is Israeli and she absolutely loves the Hebrew and Judaic studies curriculum. Our children are thriving and maturing thanks to this wonderful school. We can't imagine what the negative reviewer has experience or whether she/he is truly legitimate, as I have not witnessed such issues as mentioned in that review. I would like to counteract those remarks. The school treats its non-Jewish employees and family members
