Paul Penna Downtown Jewish Day School

” What a wonderful place Paul Penna is and has been for our two kids. The teachers are caring and warm while still pushing the kids to be challenged and grow academically. The community is incredibly welcoming. I never thought our family would end up at Jewish day school, but I’m so grateful that we landed here. “

” This school has been such a wonderful place for my 2 kids to grow and learn. The teaching staff is exceptional – they truly go above and beyond to love our kids up and make sure that they thrive socially and academically. The community is amazingly warm and caring. Even as a mixed race, interfaith family, our kids have only known acceptance. Can’t say enough great things about this special place. “

” My son is in Grade 1 and my daughter is in Grade 4 at Paul Penna. We are thrilled with the education they are receiving as well as the incredible feeling of community at the school. Each child understands how important they are as a member of their classroom community and of our downtown Jewish community – and our city and more! “

” Paul Penna is more than a school for me and my family, it is our community. My youngest son is in grade three and my eldest son recently graduated from the school. Now that my oldest son is in middle school I can say that he was not only well prepared academically, but the school also provided him with critical thinking skills and a committment to social justice that are equally important. “

” Both of my kids are at Paul Penna. One is about to graduate and one has many more years to go. We are thrilled with the education they are receiving. The teachers, admin and staff are caring, kind and generous. We are grateful to be part of this wonderful community. “
