  • Why a Jewish Day School

 

Jewish Day Schools Make a Difference.

At Schechter School of Long Island, when you choose our Jewish day school for your child, you get more than a world-class secular and Judaic education that will allow your child to succeed in college and beyond. 

You enter your child into a community that nurtures the next generation of Jews who will reimagine our institutions and reshape our tradition.

There are many additional reasons for choosing a Jewish Day School. Some are looking for small class sizes, nurturing environments and positive peer groups, while others seek an early second-language program. Still, some want an academic experience steeped in the Jewish tradition of critical thinking and ethical behavior. From superior college preparatory programs to a variety of extra-curricular activities, there is truly something for everyone.

Jewish day schools make a difference in the lives of students, families, the Jewish community and the larger society in which day-school graduates live and work.
