Where Jewish Learning Feels Like Home

From Pre-K through high school, our Religious School offers joyful, meaningful Jewish learning in a warm, inclusive community. Here, your child is not just a student — they’re part of a family.

Why Families Choose Us

Joyful Jewish Experiences starting in Pre-K and continuing through High School
From singing Hebrew songs and learning holiday traditions to exploring Torah and Jewish values, every stage of our curriculum is designed to nurture curiosity, joy, and pride in being Jewish.

Close-Knit, Intimate Community where every child is known and celebrated
Our small, welcoming environment means every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Families form lasting bonds, and children develop friendships that go beyond the classroom.

Safe to Be a Proud Jew — we affirm identity and belonging at every age
We create a safe and supportive space where students can explore and embrace their Jewish identity proudly, especially important in today’s world.

Small Class Sizes & Personalized Attention for deep, lasting learning
Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows for individualized support, engaging discussions, and a learning experience that meets each child’s needs and interests.

Music & Choir that bring our values and voices to life
Opportunities for your child to join our children’s choir and sing in front of their community.

Kids Love It Here — and They Stay!
Our students don’t just attend — they thrive. Many remain active in our programs long after becoming B’nai Mitzvah, continuing to grow with their peers and community.

Teen Leadership Opportunities
Our Madrichim (teen assistants) program empowers post–B’nai Mitzvah students to lead, teach, and mentor younger students. They become role models and strengthen their own Jewish knowledge and confidence.

Real Friendships & Real Joy — because Jewish life should feel good
Whether during holiday celebrations, Shabbat dinners, or weekly learning, our students experience Judaism as something that brings joy, friendship, and meaning to their lives.
