“I have really enjoyed being in an environment that fosters learning, growth, and connection. I am grateful for all of the opportunities and support, as a boarding student, that the Ida Crown Community has provided me.” – Charli Ernstein ’23

“I love the way Ida Crown encourages everyone to fulfill their potential. The teachers and administration are flexible and help students to follow their passions.” – Noah Fensterheim ’23

“I love that I got the chance to not only grow academically but also the chance to grow as a person and a leader. Because of this, I know that I will be able to thrive in the modern world. I love that my teachers and friends were always there to support everything that I did.” – David Gaffen ‘22

“I love that ICJA provides the opportunity to be a part of so many different clubs and sports teams which allow you to demonstrate leadership and become friends with people from various grades.” – Emma Felix ’23

While it’s true that we offer a dual curriculum, our mission is one in the same: to inspire our students to become bnei and bnot Torah who have the knowledge, courage, strength of character and passion to thrive in an increasingly complicated modern world.

We do this in the classroom by giving our students the knowledge they need in every course and on every level, whether it’s learning complex ideas in Chumash or Talmud, solving AP calculus problems, or studying Shakespeare.

We also do this on the sports field and in extracurricular activities, where some of the most influential experiential learning happens that guides our students to become leaders, mentors, doers and team members.
