School Notes
School Motto: To educate and develop students whose intellect, moral character, and Jewish identity provide a lifelong foundation for personal growth, commitment to the Jewish people and Tikkun Olam鈥攊mproving the world in which we live.
School Mascot: Jaguar
Our academic program encompasses traditional and progressive
methods. For instance, we stress skills such as writing and
reading, but also engage in experiential learning and regular field
trips. Our approach to Judaic studies is a modern one, which seeks
to make the material and the traditions relevant for each student.
And our culture is one that empowers students in order to create in
each a sense of responsibility not only for their school community,
but for the greater community at-large. The result is a learning
partnership in which students feel a sense of ownership, and, more
importantly, become graduates instilled with moral
self-reliance.
