Bais Yaakov Annual Report

12 Unity is the hallmark of our school culture, where young women from many different backgrounds have known each other since early childhood. Happiness doesn’t grow in a vacuum, but it does grow in our faculty’s galaxy of stars, where 30% of our teachers are also BY alumnae. Our students work hard, develop new strengths, and grow to fully understand that they are the future of the Jewish people. High School Delving Deeper We strive for depth and breadth in Tanach , but we also do so much more with focused programs like Tzohar for tznius , Yesodos for hashkafa , our Eretz Yisroel Bee, and our Chayei Mishpacha Speaker Program. Community Activism We’re helping students get over homework humps, banishing loneliness from nursing homes, and providing well-earned respite to families of children with special needs. Education with an Edge A competitive advantage is in our future. We’re studying samples in a lab, delivering well-prepared debate points, and lobbying for change in Annapolis. Gaining sophisticated skills is part of our empowerment. The Art of the Matter Convention, Exhibit, and Production keep us lively on a 5-year cycle. With so many ways to shine, it’s almost impossible not to. We’re discovering creative talents and learning to collaborate with one another. The results make us and our families proud. Teamwork? Check. Rising to challenges together is our bread and butter. Shooting hoops or programming robotics, we are going above and beyond what we thought possible. Visit us at a siyum , class barbeque, or school Shabbaton and you’ll see the true meaning of school spirit.
