In our preschool program, non-Jewish students are warmly welcomed as full members of our school community. And in our Lower and UpperMiddle School, students who have previously been enrolled in a Jewish school may apply as well.  Students will participate in Jewish studies, holidays, and traditions alongside their peers, not as outsiders looking in, but as valued contributors to our shared community life. We ask only that all families come with an open heart and a genuine respect for the Jewish traditions that shape our school's rhythm and culture.

We believe that diversity strengthens our community. When students of different backgrounds learn together, they develop a deeper appreciation for one another and for the world they will share. Jewish values such as chesed (loving-kindness), tzedek (justice), and tikkun olam (repairing the world) speak to the best of our common humanity — and we are proud to explore them together.

Yes! We are committed to accessibility and invite families to learn more about tuition assistance.

Families pack their child’s snack and lunch each day. Our school is a kosher dairy campus, which means:

• No meat is allowed on campus at any time (including poultry and items like pepperoni or chicken nuggets).

• Dairy and vegetarian foods are welcome.

• Kosher certification is not required for items in student lunchboxes — families do not need to check for a hechsher.

Our approach allows us to honor Jewish dietary traditions while keeping things simple and accessible for all our families. If you ever have questions about what’s okay to pack, we’re happy to help!

Holiday Kids Care (HKC) is available on many holidays when the school is closed in an effort to accommodate the needs of working parents.

HKC is offered from 7:30 AM - either 3:30 PM or 5:30 PM. In addition, there are some holidays where the school closes at 12:00 PM and HKC is offered from 12:00 -3:30 PM.
