History
Kinneret Day School was founded in 1947 by members of the Zionist movement, including Chaim Greenberg and future Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.[3][4][5] Kinneret was founded as a secular, inclusive community day school. The school derives its name from the Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: יָם כִּנֶּרֶת), also called the Kinneret.
The school was originally established in Brooklyn, NY, and later moved to the Grand Concourse area of the Bronx, and eventually to Riverdale in the Bronx. Today, Kinneret is situated in the lower levels of the Century Tower, a large apartment complex in Riverdale.[6]
The school's enrollment is approximately 200 students from pre-K through eighth grade.[7][8][9][10][11]
Curriculum
Kinneret's educational curriculum includes secular and Judaic studies, with an emphasis on the State of Israel and the Hebrew language.
The school sponsors boys and girls soccer teams which compete in the Yeshiva Middle School Sports Association (YMSSA) league.[12] Additional school programs include a school choir and Shakespeare Society.[13]
Kinneret Day School consistently achieves high student acceptance rates to NYC specialized high schools including Bronx Science and Stuyvesant High School.[14][15]
