What stays the same
Our Principal Mrs. Dena Gorkin and her dedicated team create an outstanding school experience with strong academics and loads of extras. The hallmark of a Bnos Chomesh education is making learning—both limudei kodesh and limudei chol—exciting, relevant, and personal. Each girl is empowered to excel and develop academically, socially, and spiritually. Most importantly, she is inspired to become a self-leader and soar on her own.
