Pardes is the best of both worlds– not only was I very well prepared for high school academics, but I also grew up in a warm, caring school environment. The friends I made at Pardes are still my best friends and we have so many wonderful memories from elementary and middle school.

Pardes is a family. At no other school will you have this kind of support from administration to teachers to classmates. The people I met, the teachers I had, and the education I received set me on an amazing path, and I am forever grateful.
