We have partnered with The Park School of Buffalo, a century-old private, independent, progressive school in Amherst, N.Y., in an innovative venture that is unique in North America. Through the Kadimah Scholars at Park School program, our students are now full Park students, where they learn Hebrew and Judaic Studies from former Kadimah teachers both during the regular school day and through suppl
emental “club” periods on two days after-school, while also participating fully in activities, clubs and sports at Park. Our students and faculty pray every morning, celebrate Shabbat and the holidays, and even share our religion and culture with the entire Park community, which has welcomed us with open arms. Kadimah Academy remains a separate, independent nonprofit organization, chartered under New York State Religious Corporations Law, with a new focus on providing scholarships to Jewish students to attend Park, and to support the program through continual fundraising, marketing, recruitment, alumni relations and community engagement. Our mission is to ensure that Jewish education in Western New York is supported and strengthened in the future, while we maintain our goal of developing the future leaders of tomorrow’s Jewish community.
