Lashon Academy

As an Assistant Principal at Lashon Academy, I’ve had the privilege of being part of a community that truly values growth, learning, and collaboration. From the very beginning, I’ve felt welcomed and supported in my role, and I can honestly say that working here has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career.

What stands out most to me is the emphasis on collaboration at every level. Whether you’re a teacher, coach, staff member, or leader, everyone is encouraged to work together towards a common goal: the success and well-being of our students. There is a constant flow of communication and teamwork, which makes decision-making smoother and creates a real sense of unity among staff. It’s not just about getting things done, it’s about getting things done together, with everyone’s voice being heard.

What I appreciate most is the consistent encouragement I receive to continue learning and growing, both personally and professionally. This school doesn’t just embrace change, it celebrates it. We’re constantly striving to improve, and the environment here makes it easy to stay motivated and engaged. The positive culture at Lashon is something truly special. It’s a place where you can grow as a leader, feel valued in your role, and know that your contributions are making a real difference. I’m proud to be part of this team and excited to continue our journey of growth together.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lashon Academy to anyone looking to join a community that not only values its staff but actively invests in their success. Whether you’re an educator, coach, or leader, this is a place where you can truly thrive.

I enjoyed being a part of a school with a vision that I believed in.  As a school, they are vision-focused, and it's helpful to know the reason behind choices that they make.  

21st century learning - building global citizens - independence in learning - responsive classroom - workshop model

- If these are values that you believe in, or that you enjoy teaching with, it's a great environment for you to be in.

Management is done by two people, one focused on instruction, and one on administration/operation.  This can be confusing at times if their communication is ever out of sync, although they are both great leaders.

Staff members are full of ideas, and enjoyable to work with.  Weekly meetings were eliminated while I was working with them, which reduced interaction, but did support work/life balance.  Many faculty members have families, and staying late at work isn't popular.

Management does not give up on helping students! This is a great part of working with this school.  

You share a classroom with Hebrew instructors.  They can be a great resource, but you need to be comfortable sharing a classroom with someone else.

The campus is shared with a middle school & high school.  Walking kids in line around campus, you sometimes encounter "older kid" misbehavior, which is a poor model for your kids.  This can be difficult. My first year here, I would sometimes have middle schoolers running across the roof, or skating on the roof after school hours.

Working at our school has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. As principal, I am proud to be part of a supportive, collaborative environment where both staff and students are valued. Teachers are given the resources and autonomy they need to succeed in the classroom, while also having access to ongoing professional development opportunities. The culture here emphasizes teamwork and open communication, which truly makes a difference in day-to-day work. Our staff members care deeply about student success, and that passion is reflected in the positive, welcoming atmosphere throughout the school. Leadership at all levels is approachable and committed to ensuring employees feel appreciated and heard. This is a place where you can grow professionally, build lasting relationships, and make a meaningful impact in the community. I would highly recommend our school to anyone looking for a fulfilling and supportive workplace.

Lashon has its pros and cons like any school. The staff is very friendly and supportive of each other. There is lots of time for collaboration among teachers. The curriculum is Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, Amplify, Go Math, and PBL. Teachers also create fun end of unit projects that are standards based. Students receive Hebrew instruction four times a week and Israeli Studies once a week from a Hebrew instructor. Students also participate in PE, dance and art. A couple things that make the job tough are difficult student behaviors and micromanaging from admin. There is not much freedom to do what you want in your classroom. Overall the pros outweigh the cons.

It’s my first year teaching at Lashon and I really like it so far! The staff is very friendly and made me feel very welcome. As a newer teacher, there are several resources I can turn to for help whenever I have a question. Each grade has a lead teacher for mentorship. We also have our Academic Instructional Coaches, and our principals. They have all been very engaged, supportive, and offer specific guidance I can actually use in the classroom. I personally love that we have professional development opportunities every week as well as structured opportunities to grow into leadership roles in the future. That was really important to me. Most of all, I enjoy the culture of Lashon. There are a lot of fun little traditions and special events we do that make the days different. My favorite so far was celebrating the 100th day of school. Several teachers dressed up as 100-year-olds. The students loved it!

I am grateful I get to work with all the teachers, TA’s, Behavior Aides, kids and Admin that are all supportive, hard working, and kind.   Because I am the In-House Sub I have the opportunity to cover all grade levels and get as much experience as I can.  I’m familiar with each teachers expectations and classroom culture which makes it easier to support the kids and teachers.  I love how each grade level has the same lessons in case a teacher is out unexpectedly and can share their lessons for the day.   I really appreciate the trust my management provides.  This independence allows me to take ownership of my tasks and responsibilities without feeling micromanaged, which has significantly boosted my confidence and growth in my role.  It encourages me to think critically, make decisions, and develop new skills.   

Since beginning at Lashon Academy nearly three years ago, I immediately knew I was coming home. There is such a strong sense of family in this community, where I consistently feel cared for and supported. Management is always ready to listen and find ways to make staff, students and families more comfortable. Our thoughts and opinions matter and are heard. Teachers look out for one another and are ready to assist at a moment's notice. Students receive a rigorous education, while experiencing a feeling of belonging. Typically after students graduate from eighth grade, they return over and over again to Lashon to visit and keep in touch with staff and teachers for years to come. Lashon fosters a truly positive work environment, where all staff feel valued and appreciated for the work they do every day. I am very proud to work for such a wonderful school. 

I have worked as an educator in three states in vastly different environments and Lashon Academy is a great place to be an educational leader. There is a feeling of family here at school. Everyone is here working for the same goal and as a new administrator there are so opportunities to grow your practice. There is always an opportunity to change something and try new things because it is a growing school. As a leader you can work yourself into the fabric of the community here and become a part of a small community. While becoming a part of this community your values and educational style will become a part of this community. This is one of if not the best school that I have worked for. The teamwork and collaboration make this a special place to work that is a once in a career opportunity. 

I worked as a teacher assistant at this school, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The school was very unorganized - daily expectations were unclear, and last-minute changes were common without proper communication. There was very little support for staff, especially assistants, and it often felt like our roles and contributions were undervalued.
Communication between
administration, teachers, and support staff was inconsistent and ineffective, making it hard to do the job well. The overall environment lacked a sense of community and collaboration, which made it difficult to grow professionally or feel part of a team. I hope future improvements are made for the sake of both students and  staff.

A work day here is fun because of the people I work with. Parents are most of the time hands on and understand the hard work that is put in Daily by the staff. I believe that this is a great place for those who are wanting to be in the classroom. The hardest part of the job are students who are disrespectful and hard to control. The most enjoyable part of the job is the freedom to have your class the way you want and also your team! WE HAVE GREAT TEACHERS who have normal lives and that you get to become friends with :)
