Giving

First of all academically, my child has been able to explore multiplicity of academic interest in very deep ways. Her teachers are devoted to her, have an allowed her to explore her interests, have supported her interest and nourished her quest for knowledge. They celebrate her interest, her never-ending questions, and her capacity for learning. And they meet her where she is and value her as a learner and human being.

Friendships-this might be something unique that other people might not say but I do think there is something unique about the friendships and deep relationships that the kids have with each other at the school. I’ve tried to think about why so that you can put something down in writing and I think it has something to do with community and spirit, but also kids have grown up together and share the same values and so their level of trust and understanding for each other is just something to be really deeply admired. Kids come in and they are happy to see each other and they really value each other as people.

At Gann kids can be scholars and athletes and farmers and it is all nourished and celebrated and recognized as healthy and important.  You don’t have to choose one identity or another you can be all and respected for being all which is so unique.

I give to Gann because it’s an amazing education that helps create strong and proud Jewish adults.

I give to Gann because I see the critical need for a dedicated pluralistic high school for the Jewish community, that welcomes and includes everyone. As a single mom, I would not be able to afford to send my daughter without a scholarship, so I know firsthand how life-changing our scholarship funds are for the school.

It is so important that a strong Jewish community has an exceptional Jewish high school - Gann Academy answers that call and then some. It is a privilege to see Gann flourish into one of the best Jewish high schools in North America.
