Works Here: Kehillah is a beautifully rare community — fitting that the word Kehillah means community. At Kehillah, there is no pressure to fit a mold or hide one's full emerging identity. It's a gift for any teen to have four years to safely experiment and discover themselves free of any bullying or social stress. Quirky is celebrated, so is intellectual achievement; all these make it a delightful place to teach and learn. Everyone wants those qualities in a school, and it cannot be seen or displayed in a brochure, but it's here.
There is no question that Kehillah is small, but I think most would be surprised by how deep are the arts, computer science, lab sciences, languages, and humanities for such a small school. They succeed at this by attracting talented and loving teachers. The things that can be improved, like facilities and physical infrastructure, are so much less critical to a student's development than social climate and talented teachers.
