Carin Simon, Strelitz International Academy’s director of development, and Ally St. Pierre, SIA’s admissions manager, recently attended the 2025 Prizmah Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. This gathering brought together Jewish day school leaders from across the country, providing a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
Throughout the conference, the SIA team participated in inspiring workshops and discussions on innovative strategies in education, community building, and school advancement. The team explored new approaches to strengthening its admissions process, fostering deeper engagement with families, and enhancing development efforts to support the long-term success of the school.
One of the most powerful takeaways was the emphasis on collaboration and the sharing of best practices among Jewish day schools. SIA’s team returned energized and full of fresh ideas — from creative ways to showcase the school’s unique IB® approach to building a more vibrant and inclusive school culture.
By implementing the strategies and insights gained at Prizmah, SIA aims to further enrich the educational experience offered at the school and to deepen the partnerships with families and community
