Gross Schechter Day School inspires its students to love learning, become their best selves, and embrace Jewish practice, values, and community in a challenging and encouraging academic environment.
Our program is split evenly between general studies (ie. math, ELA, social studies, science) and Judaic studies (ie.
Hebrew, Tanakh, tefillah, Israel, Jewish history). In addition to an individualized educational approach, we value kehillah (community) building with a wealth of co-curricular programming to enhance our students' experience, with focus on an integrated curriculum and a whole-child approach. We educate students aged 6 weeks - 8th grade.
