I am a former Social Studies/Sociology Teacher at Razi School for 14 years until the pandemic of of 2020 (until March ,2020). Within the 14 years I have compared Razi School with other schools i have visited in other countries, and I can safely say, not only does Razi School practice the policy of diversity, embracing multi-culturalism, and respect for diversity in the workplace, but it boasts during my time there, quite correctly, of having over 50 ethnic/nationalities represented in its student population. Indeed, its staff members are Americans of various backgrounds and ethnicities too. Parents can be rest assured that it is a safe environment for your child as all teachers undergo fingerprinting with both the NYPD and FBI, clearance on Child Abuse programs, and have to take workshops on child safety too. Razi School embraces a spirit of patriotism in being proud Americans while practicing the religious diversity in New York/our country. I have certainly cherished working there and the parents who volunteer at International Day, and other events to make Razi School great. Sincerely, Professor Sayyed 'Abd AL-Mahdi Musawi.

I started working at Razi last December, and I can already call it my second home. I was welcomed with open arms by the administration, teachers, and students. I truly enjoy every second of working as an administrator and as a PE teacher. I simply love everything about this school. Here at Razi, the teacher-student ratio is on average 1:10 which is hard to find in other schools. Our school is also very well equipped, with an amazing facility with many amenities that other schools may not typically have. As a teacher, I would like to recommend this school to all who would love to work in a welcoming and friendly environment. As a parent, I strongly encourage you to consider Razi school for your child. In this school, you will find a community that nurtures lifelong learners and educators that inspire our young students.

My kids have been very happy with Razi School. We appreciate the care and support that the school has given to my kids. Some teachers treat students as if they were their children. The location is convenient. They provide school buses to children up to certain ages. They offer after-school programs for middle school and up. Academic and college guidance could be better, but my kids and I are overall very satisfied.
