NORTH MIAMI BEACH – More than 200 guests - including a judging panel of Miami art scene luminaries - attended Scheck Hillel Community School's inaugural Advanced Placement (AP) Art Exhibition on April 16, 2019. This gallery of works showcased 52 student-artists enrolled in Scheck Hillel's AP 2D Design, AP 3D Design, AP Drawing, and Portfolio Development courses. The pieces are part of a broad selection of original artwork they created throughout the academic year, following criteria specified by the College Board; these portfolios now will be submitted for assessment by that body.

Through the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) program, Scheck Hillel offers college-level courses to high school students. Many colleges grant college credit to students who obtain high scores in these classes. Scheck Hillel currently offers 19 AP courses in a variety of subjects and, throughout the past five years, Scheck Hillel students have been awarded nearly 200 AP Scholar Awards for their achievement.

April's special art exhibition was the brainchild of Scheck Hillel’s Ben Lipson Upper School art teacher Edith Shlesinger and Stuart Rosenthal, Chair of the school’s Jordan Alexander Ressler Arts Program. It spoke directly to how Scheck Hillel empowers students to maximize achievement, foster identity and explore passions. Guest judges Karina Belilty, Judith Berk King, Fela Bibas, Sigfredo Chacon and Scheck Hillel alumna Orly Shuber '01 gave special praise to the work of several student-artists with the Judges' Choice Awards: Daniela Abbo '20, Miryam Azulay '20, Andrea Benhamron '20, Clara Bromberg '20, Hannah Cohen '20, Rachel Davit '21, Noah Givner '21, Gabrielle Kurzer '20, Orly Shapiro '21, Danielle Waijman '19, Danit Weitzman '20 and Mauricio Woldenberg '20.

The daughter of an artist, she grew up in the art world, watching her mom paint since she was a young girl. However, it was after a leukemia diagnosis in 2016, when she saw art as therapy.

After this chapter of her life, she decided she wanted to change people’s lives through art.
