VISION…

“The definition of foolishness is to do things the way that you

have always done them and to expect a different result”

JIM COLLINSLeadership Guru

“People say that non profit organizations should be run like a business - they are wrong. Most businesses are run badly. Any enterprise whether for profit or not should be run according to principles of greatness. Best leadership and management practices must be adopted in the non- profit sector if they are to succeed.” - Good to Great for the Social sector.

G.K CHESTERTONArguably the greatest writer of the 20th century

“Education is the soul of a society as it passes from one

generation to the next”

What is the correct conceptual framework to describe the relationship between Home and School, Parents and Teachers?

Is it only that of a Corporate framework – between Service provider (the school) and Client / Customer (the parents) ?

At Yeshiva we believe it is so much more…

It is a sacred partnership where two of societies hallowed institutions and protagonists - Home and School, parents and teachers - partner each other to transmit a shared value system and world vision to their children.
