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. Kids see their family’s traditions reflected, and learn from others, too.
