SOLOMON SCHECHTER DAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

Today, increasing numbers of parents are choosing a Schechter education for their children.

n They seek a values-based program which teaches an approach to the sanctity of daily living in a nurturing, child-centered environment.

n They are attracted to an educational philosophy which seeks to integrate Jewish and general studies and demonstrates how each can influence the other.

Their goal — and ours — is to produce boys and girls infused with the joys and responsibilities of being Jewish. Together, we work to produce children who are

n Jewishly knowledgeable — in Torah, Rabbinic texts and Siddur; in mitzvot and in ethical values.

n Skilled practitioners in math and science; appreciative of literature and creative expression; genuinely respectful of other cultures and individuals.

n Speakers of Hebrew who have the access skills to study our Jewish sacred texts in Hebrew.

Building on the principles and beliefs of the Conservative Movement and the values of modernity — individual conscience, human rights, active participation as citizens of a democracy, intellectual honesty, embracing the canons of critical and scientific thought — we create a foundation for our students to meet the challenges of contemporary life.

Solomon Schechter Day Schools reach out in partnership to the family and the community. Hand in hand, we work to prepare the vigorous leaders of a new generation: knowledgeable, committed Jews and responsible citizens.

Solomon Schechter Day Schools are opened to Jewish children whether of parents affiliated with Conservative Movement and parents not affiliated with the Conservative Movement.
