    Classroom Placement Policy


    At MASJ, we carefully consider each child's classroom placement to ensure a balanced and nurturing learning environment. To maintain an optimal ratio of boys and girls, varied age groups, and diverse learning styles, we do not accept specific teacher or classroom requests.


    Our Program Director will thoughtfully determine each child's placement based on several factors, including knowledge of the child's needs, observations, and the overall dynamics of each classroom. This approach allows us to create the best possible environment for all our students to thrive.


    We appreciate your understanding and trust in our process.


  • What are the factors that determine my child’s placement?

    Depending on the openings that are available, our goal is to balance the classrooms by age and gender of the children.

  • Is there a sibling discount?

    Yes, there is a discount for the second child. Please contact us for details.
