Schechter Celebrates
Sunday, March 15, 2026 4 p.m.
125 Wells Avenue, Newton
Our Foundation, Our Future
Honoring Rebecca Lurie’s 10 years of visionary, joyful leadership
With support from generous donors to on ongoing Capital Campaign, our plans include:
The Pucker Family Early Childhood Center
In summer 2026, Gan Shelanu will move to our Lower School campus.
For the first time, all of our youngest learners will be together in one place—creating a vibrant connected early childhood experience. The move will nearly double our preschool capacity and expand our kindergarten pipeline, building a stronger foundation for Schechter’s continued growth.
The Philip and Bernice Krupp STEAM Center
Coming Spring 2027: A new STEAM Center for Grades 3–8.
Once Gan Shelanu moves to Stein Circle, the former preschool space will be transformed into a 6,000-square-foot hub for hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. With tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, robotics kits, and more, this new center will take STEAM education at Schechter to the next level.
A New Upper Elementary Community
A new Intermediate Division. A stronger future.
Grades 3–5 will move to Wells Avenue, forming a dedicated Intermediate Division designed just for upper elementary learners. Alongside our expanded preschool and new STEAM Center, these bold changes will help Schechter grow, deepen our impact, and shape the Jewish leaders of tomorrow.
