Find Your Voice.
Write Your Story.
From 12 months through Grade 8, your child gets more here: more people who know them, more ways to be Jewish, more chances to find what they love and more confidence in who they are by the time they walk out our doors.
Built Around How Children Grow.
Families want many things for their children: strong academics, joyful Jewish life, close relationships, and room to discover what they love. Schechter was built to bring those things together in one place, so children can grow up known, challenged, connected, and grounded in who they are.
12 months to Pre-Kindergarten
Gan – Early Childhood
The warmest start.
At Gan, Hebrew is part of everyday life from the very first hello. Children play, sing, explore, make friends, and grow up known.
Kindergarten to Grade 2
Lower Elementary
Foundational years.
Hebrew letters become words. Numbers become math. The Jewish calendar becomes part of everyday life.
Grade 3 to Grade 5
A time to find their voice.
Students take on bigger projects, discover new passions, and begin to see themselves as leaders in classrooms, on teams, and inside their community.
Upper Elementary
Grade 6 to Grade 8
Ready for What’s Next.
As students grow more independent, they take on deeper academic challenges, explore new passions, and strengthen their sense of self within a supportive community.
Middle School
Many Doorways In.
Jewish life at Schechter is joyful, thoughtful, and part of the rhythm of every day. Children hear Hebrew from the first hello in the morning. They celebrate Shabbat together on Fridays, read Torah, bake challah and grow up surrounded by classmates whose families practice Jewish life in many different ways.
For some students, Schechter deepens traditions already rooted at home. For others, it opens new doors. By the time your child finishes Grade 8, they can read Hebrew, lead a Shabbat dinner, navigate the Jewish calendar, and engage with Jewish ideas as their own.
More People Who Know Your Child
Children grow differently when they spend years surrounded by teachers, friends, and families who truly know them. At Schechter, relationships deepen over time. A child who starts in Gan grows up in a community where teachers understand how they learn, friendships carry from one year into the next, and families become part of one another’s lives far beyond the classroom.
As the largest Jewish day school in Greater Boston, Schechter offers something rare: more ways for children to find their people, and discover what they love — without getting lost in the crowd.
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.
“Many schools provide a Jewish education, but Schechter provides Jewish joy and community.”
