OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

The Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley's administration and faculty believe that education should address the total individual as an amalgam of physical, spiritual, and intellectual excellence. We hold the belief that each student is a unique individual and therefore, our approach to a child's education is highly tailored to the needs of the individual student. Further, we hold the belief that the ultimate purpose of education is to produce individuals who strive for excellence for themselves, their peers, and their community. The Jewish Day School strives to instill a love for learning in a community day school environment. Our rigorous dual curriculum in General Studies and Judaic Studies is provided to children from Pre-K through the Eighth grade.

The Jewish Day School is a place where each and every child can shine and excel. Our high academic standards and expectations assist students as they move on through their lives with the valuable lesson that they can make a difference. In the final analysis, the student, infused with the higher ideals of life, will take those ideas into the larger community whereby the improvement of self is translated into the improvement of all. Students are part of a caring community that reaches out to others through hands-on mitzvah projects in the school, the greater community, Israel, and the world at large.
