A brand-new day school couldn't do any better. In fact, Goldfein has worked with both an interior designer and a school-furniture expert to assess classroom layout needs of the day school and the religious school. How we use the classroom space is vital. It can really shape the student's educational experience. Goldfein noted that a space can also promote certain educational experiences.
Children often learn a great deal through play, music and art.
At the same time, he said, the classroom space must meet the needs of the religious-school students in kindergarten through seventh grade. For this reason, Goldfein said he has been assessing several samples of classroom furniture, from activity tables that can be raised or lowered, depending on a student's height and grade level, to storage spaces that double as work space. Graetz, meanwhile, described wall charts that can flip around from side to side depending on the class' occupants. He plans to hire three to four teachers and two teaching assistants. Goldfein is also spreading the word to prospective students and their families.
