The school definitely seems like the right fit and we would not have found it without your help." - Shira

"She's thorough, helpful, calm and totally not judgmental. I felt we had someone totally on our team who would go to tremendous efforts for us. She guided us through the process of contacting the schools as well as signing up for open days or getting interviews. She encouraged us to look at each option with an open mind. It made it so much easier contacting a school who already knew about us and moving forward from that point...It's been a pleasure and a relief!" - BC

She really and truly LISTENED to us, to understand what we were looking for, what my son was hoping for and what would be best for him. We are thrilled that he was accepted into a truly out of the box program that bezrat HaShem will suit him perfectly! It really ticks every single one of our boxes and my son is truly excited to start school!" - AR

"We turned to Yal for expert professional advice in the search for the right Ulpana for our daughter. As Olim, the world of boarding school was alien to us let alone navigating the different types of schools. Yal was great when learning about our requirements as parents and also engaging with our daughter too. She came up with a comprehensive list based on solid research and conversations with all the schools. Yal outlined all the pros and cons for each school aligned with our requirements. Our daughter got her first choice and Yal was responsive both during and post engagement with us. This was a much needed professional service which we highly recommend!" - Sara
