Linda Brown

Linda graduated Cum Laude from Tufts University in 1977, with a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Education. During that time she spent four months studying in England, observing and teaching in the British Open School System. Linda moved to Philadelphia after graduating, and assumed responsibility for creating and teaching a first/second grade class for a private school.

In 1978, Linda founded a school for Congregation Beth Yeshua in Philadelphia, where she and her husband have been active members for over 25 years. She has worked at Chalutzim Academy since then, as administrator, guidance counselor, and teacher. Through the years she has also developed curriculum, supervised teachers, and tutored individual students. Linda has taught many subjects, from first grade to High School math. She is certified in both Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Linda began Cornerstone as an out-growth of Chalutzim Academy, and has been Principal of both schools for five years now.
With her husband, Steve, Linda organized and ran the teen program at Beth Yeshua, and at the yearly conference of Messianic Judaism, for about 8 years. Now she is busy with her own 3 teenage children, as well as running two schools! While it keeps her very busy, she really loves what she does, and greatly enjoys all her students!
