At the heart of the Menachem Education Foundation (MEF) is the core belief that the community’s collective responsibility towards the Chinuch of our children must engage 100% of students, at 100% of their capacity, 100% of the time. Our mission is to be the best champions of Talmidim and Talmidos by working through Chabad schools, with an uncompromising focus on student success.
MEF has led a team of Mechanchim in formulating a concise, overarching “Vision for Chabad Schools,” to articulate goals for student outcomes, and to hold ourselves accountable at every step of the way.
The Vision is a living document and serves as a basic foundation to build and expound upon.
