Hearing from Our Transfer Students
Trisha Thai, Class of 2025
"The community at Kehillah is welcoming, and there’s always a group to connect with, no matter your interests. The small class sizes and personalized attention allowed me to explore electives in art and music. The teachers are so supportive and make time to talk with me, which makes me feel right at home. Kehillah has truly become my second home, and I’ve made friendships that will last."
Gabriel Dubiel, Class of 2026
"Since I was transferring in as an 11th-grader, I was worried that people might already have made friend groups and I might not be able to connect to other people. But it turns out that everyone was really nice. Everyone allowed me to join in on everything that they were doing, and it was a great experience."
