We started off our education journey with our son in public school and originally never considered private school. However, when we moved to Wilmington we decided to explore the idea of sending our children to private school. We toured several different schools but immediately felt a connection when we viewed Albert Einstein Academy. The application process is easy and the staff was so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. The tiered tuition rates make sending your child to Einstein attainable for all families. Our son did well in public school and we had an overall good experience but when we switched to Einstein, Gray began to thrive. We truly didn't know what we were missing in a school until we enrolled at Einstein. Our son absolutely loves school and races out the door each morning because he enjoys learning so much. He is flourishing academically and socially and has developed a love of learning. His teachers are amazing, academics are rigorous but also individualized to students' interests and ability level. Einstein has an incredible school community and our entire family has been welcomed with love. We treasure how every student is loved and accepted for exactly who they are and individuality is encouraged. We appreciate that he is surrounded by Jewish values, learning Hebrew and love being a part of the Jewish community. We are excited for our younger son to begin in Gan (Kindergarten) at Einstein next school year. Every day when we drop him off we are confident in knowing that he is safe, loved and thriving- academically and socially, what more could a parent want?

Our twins have attended Albert Einstein for four years. We absolutely love the school and highly recommend it. Albert Einstein provides top-notch academics, small classes, and an individualized education where kids are moved up or given extra assistance as needed. The school`s focus is on developing students into inquisitive learners, critical thinkers, and dynamic leaders. The school places a strong emphasis on the arts. Throughout the year, there are art exhibitions, talent shows, and school productions, all of which allow children to gain confidence with public speaking and to shine on stage. We also like that Jewish heritage, customs, and practices are woven into everyday learning along with American history and holidays. Our children are learning what it means to be Jewish and to be American. Albert Einstein staff and teachers love what they do and it shows in the personalized instruction and warm/ nurturing environment of the school. We are so thankful to be a part of the Albert Einstein community and welcome you and your family to come and join us.

Our daughter attended JCC Early Childhood Center and transitioned over to Einstein for Kindergarten. She is now in 2nd grade and she loves Einstein. We aren't Jewish but have enjoyed the community at the JCC for well over 20 plus years. Einstein offers an engaging and very well-constructed curriculum. The teachers accommodate the students and devise strategies to improve the student's overall academic knowledge and interpersonal skills. Classroom sizes are limited to a certain number of students so that the children have an opportunity to grow and learn while being challenged at their own pace. We are super pleased with the education that our daughter is receiving! Einstein is full of hard-working, compassionate, loving teachers who strive to create an atmosphere where learning is exciting while a great education is offered. Do not hesitate to send your child to Einstein-they will love it. **A second language and religion is a great way to grow your child's brain and expand their knowledge and vocabulary at a very young age. Highly recommend Einstein to anyone looking for a great school for their children.

This is our first year at Albert Einstein. My boys love it! Can't imagine them not being at Einstein. Love the teachers and the curriculum of Hebrew/Judaism. Love the Jewish community and being on the campus of JCC. The principal and staff make the school. Very blessed by them and of course all the donors who invest in our children. I highly recommend visiting Albert Einstein!
