Early childhood
From 15 months to 4 years, our youngest learners play, explore and grow in a warm, joyful Jewish setting in which they feel at home.
Kindergarten to Grade 5
Elementary school
In these foundational years, children dive into school with wonder and purpose. Jewish life and exemplary learning are the soundtrack of every day.
Grades 6-8
Middle school
Our middle schoolers rise to new challenges with confidence, taking more ownership over their learning. They engage in critical thinking and get ready for what's next.
What we believe
At Schechter we don't just teach
We grow proud Jewish kids who love learning and have a strong identity, both as students and as members of the Jewish community. At Schechter, learning happens in community. Kids are known, families are welcomed, and growth is something we do together.
Here, Jewish life is lived out loud. In many voices. With big questions. And with space for every child to grow into who they are—with pride, purpose and community at their side.
Big enough to offer more
Schechter’s scale means more peers, more programs and more chances to find your people
Passions power learning
When kids love what they’re learning, they dive deeper. We notice what lights them up, and help it grow.
Jewish life, many voices
At Schechter, Jewish life is joyful and pluralistic. Kids see their family’s traditions reflected, and learn from others, too.
“Many schools provide a Jewish education but you provide Jewish joy and community.”
