Admissions
Sinai Learning Lab is a unique, Jewish, elementary educational program that emphasizes student empowerment and agency, skill mastery and problem-based learning. A core value of the Learning Lab is that every child learns differently. For that reason we recognize that the Learning Lab will not be the best fit for every child or family. Children and families in our program appreciate that we are constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting to find the best ways to challenge and inspire our learners.
We want to ensure that the Learning Lab will give your child everything they deserve. For that reason we have a thoughtful admissions process.
