Parent Testimonials

"Yalow feels like a true community. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make sure every child is supported and encouraged to reach their potential. It’s clear that the entire team is deeply invested in the success and well-being of the students."

"Yalow has improved my children’s academic progress, but also their confidence and love for learning."

"As a parent of a child in kindergarten,  I am consistently impressed by the school’s excellent curriculum, its commitment to diversity, and the remarkable leadership."

"Chess has taught my child so much: how to slow down and think before reacting, how to handle a tough loss with grace, how to keep trying even when something feels challenging."

"These chess lessons are shaping their character and helping them build confidence in ways that go far beyond what happens on the board."

"You’ve given them more than just skills, you’ve given them a sense of belonging, a place to feel proud of their progress, and the joy that comes from being part of a team."

"The after-school program was a blessing; our financial status wouldn’t have allowed us to pay for it, especially the fencing and chess programs, being that they’re incredibly expensive in a city like New York."

"Yalow built my children's confidence and trust in themselves especially with the knowledge they have received in chess and fencing."

"It is a great satisfaction to have my child wake up in the morning and WANT to go to school, even look forward to the day head."

"We firmly believe that Rosalyn Yalow is a fundamental part of our daughters life, teaching her to have great expectations for her life and education. It’s an honor for our daughter to her to have great expectations for her life and education."

"Our daughter loves the fact that it is a public school, and a small one compared to others."
