Ida Crown is an exceptional school with a warm, fun yet serious environment for students. Clubs and special activities abound, and academics are top notch. I am confident my children are getting a top notch education while also being nurtured socially and philosophically. It is, hands down, an excellent school.

Ida Crown is a modern orthodox Jewish day school that strives to give their students the best Judaic and Secular education. They have a rigorous dual-curriculum but do not skimp on the arts and extra curricular.
