why choose jewish day school

Studies show that day school graduates express an extraordinary sense of responsibility towards influencing social values, helping those in need and affecting social change. At RJA, students understand their obligation as citizens of the world. They know from experience that social action is easy, it's possible and it's Jewish.

Jewish day school graduates are more resistant to social pressures that lead to risky behaviors than their public and private school peers. RJA students have a moral compass, a sense of integrity and the ability to make decisions based on Jewish values.

Jewish day school students emerge with a proficient knowledge of prayer, and a profound commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. In our contemporary society, Jewish identity is not inevitable. It requires an education that is meaningful and joyful. RJA's daily celebration of Judaism instills both pride and the ability to see the world through Jewish eyes.

Neuro-scientific research suggests that at a young age, children have a greater capacity to learn a foreign language. RJA students study ivrit b'ivrit (Hebrew in Hebrew) daily, and are able to read, write and speak competently by graduation.

All of that...with small class sizes, a curriculum that exceeds state standards and meaningful learning moments! RJA offers a perfect package for the parents who don't want to have to choose between academic excellence and meaningful Jewish learning.
