SINAI Schools is an organization based in the New York Metropolitan area that provides education for Jewish children and young adults with special needs. SINAI is the only Jewish day school for children with special needs that has received the coveted accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[1]

SINAI's student-to-professional ratio is greater than 1:2. This allows SINAI to create, implement, closely monitor, and, as needed, regularly modify an individualized program for each child. SINAI provides a range of therapies, including speech, language, occupational, psychological and behavioral therapies.[2] SINAI also provides a wide range of mainstreaming opportunities in academic, social, and vocational settings.

Excellence in Special Education

SINAI's students present a range of academic, developmental, cognitive, sensory, social, emotional and behavioral deficits. SINAI offers premier special education for its many high functioning and even gifted students with a wide array of learning disabilities. SINAI also serves students with a wide array of developmental disabilities, including:

Schools and Programs

SINAI includes elementary divisions housed within Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston and Rosenbaum Yeshiva of North Jersey in River Edge and high school divisions situated in Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School in Livingston and both Ma'ayanot High School for Girls and Torah Academy of Bergen County in Teaneck

SINAI also offers an Adult transitional program with the Nathan Miller SHELI (Supported Home Environment for Learning Independence) residence for men. SHELI is designed to meet the social, recreational, and emotional needs of young adults with developmental disabilities in the context of a supervised housing facility. This unique program guides young adults through their transitions to group living while promoting their independence as adults.[4]
