Learn     Discover     Become

At Solomon Schechter, students learn how to think for themselves, discover their sense of self, and become Jewish citizens of the world.

Our child-centered approach:

• focuses on educating the whole child in a warm, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment,
• respects and encourages the unique learning style of every student, and
• brings out the distinctiveness and potential of every child. 

Solomon Schechter Day School’s combined general and Judaic Studies curriculum gives students a rich foundation of knowledge, enabling them to thrive academically and to engage in Jewish life anywhere in the world.

Our educational program promotes values-based decision making, critical thinking across disciplines, and an analytical approach to problem-solving.  Schechter graduates emerge as knowledgeable Jews and creative thinkers who can respect diverse ideas and opinions, feel passionately about Israel, advocate for themselves and important causes, and use their knowledge and skills to enrich the world.

Schechter teachers are life-long learners who take advantage of many opportunities to advance their instructional practice. In addition to our General and Judaic Studies teachers, our faculty includes art, physical education, dance, library, technology, and music specialists whose programs enrich student learning each and every day. Our social workers support the social and emotional needs of our students. Learning resource and reading teachers support the students in meeting academic goals.

Schechter students enjoy a unique relationship with the students of Keshet, a Jewish day school for children with special needs. By sharing lunch periods, services, and other activities, Schechter and Keshet students forge deep connections and bonds.
