[COMMUNICATED CONTENT]

Every parent shares the same aspiration; to provide his or her child with every advantage feasible so that the child may succeed in life. Be’er Hagolah shares that very same goal.

Yet for many, the opportunity of providing a child with a superior education in a Jewish environment is not a realistic option. There are still thousands of our Jewish brethren who are receiving their education in an environment that is a susceptible to assimilation and immoral behaviors. Be’er Hagolah is unyielding in its objective to provide ALL Jewish children the possibility of receiving a strong secular education along with an upstanding Judaic education.

Utilizing every technological opportunity, in these changing times, Be’er Hagolah has remained steadfast in its mission to educate its students with a stellar education, promoting its students to greater heights with their Jewish values intact.

In Be’er Hagolah’s state of the art building, on its vast and beautiful campus, talented and professional staff members devote themselves to their students. Be’er Hagolah boasts a strong academic program, regents accredited, aligned with the New York State Common Core learning standards and honor classes. Smart boards, computer labs, state-of- the-art science labs, a regulation size gym, and art classes are among the many mechanisms utilized to ensure success.

“I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University. I thank Be’er Hagolah for giving me an excellent education so that I could go on to become a doctor in a prominent hospital in New York”, remarked an alumnus of Be’er Hagolah.

Education alone is not enough to provide the sturdy foundation our children need to succeed. Be’er Hagolah understands the importance of dealing with the whole child. Be’er Hagolah incorporates other programs to enhance every child’s ability to grow so that he may reach his full potential. The extra-curricular programs, field trips, basketball leagues, summer employment opportunities and college advisement, which Be’er Hagolah provides, empower its students with confidence and social advancement.

“Our goal is to ensure that our students leave Be’er Hagolah’s walls with sound and moral principles so that they are able to move on in life as healthy, productive members of society.”

Be’er Hagolah’s Judaic studies program teaches respect and love for our Jewish heritage. Students feel a strong connection to their roots, their Torah. It is through this connection that Be’er Hagolah students take pride in who they are and where they come from. Be’er Hagolah alumni emerge as proud Jews with positive values and respect for themselves and others.

Imparting an excellent education in both, the Judaic and General studies departments, Be’er Hagolah provides its students with the tools they need so that upon graduating they are able to continue their education in universities and colleges or Yeshivas and seminaries with their Jewish pride intact.

In a letter written to Be’er Hagolah, an alumnus wrote, “Be’er Hagolah has always set high standards for its students. When I graduated, I went on to become an actuary, a field that is reserved for the most accomplished students. I thank you for planting the seeds of knowledge in me. Over the years, the seeds have grown into a fruitful tree and even though the tree stands alone now, no winds can break it because the roots are deep. Nothing can stop this tree from growing higher and higher! Thank you very much!”

Many Gedolim and Community Leaders have visited Be’er Hagolah and have observed firsthand the implementation of an excellent education, with an impressive faculty, in an immaculate and well-kept building. The sparkling floors, the well-lit corridors, the discipline in the hallways, the children learning in classrooms, interested in their studies, along with the respect and thirst exhibited for Torah and Jewish values have left their indelible impression.
