  • Each week when I read the Friday newsletter I feel great. It makes me proud of what our school, our students, and our faculty and staff accomplish each and every day.

    - Jessica, Alumni Parent, Board Chairwoman
  • Schechter shaped me into the person I am today. All of the teachers really reinforced the idea of respect, love toward Judaism, and being a good person.

    - Maddy, Class of 2014
  • I am a proud alum of Schechter and cannot begin to measure the impact it has had on my life. Unlike any other school, Schechter has a focus on high-level thinking and advanced academic skills that go beyond the classroom, but in daily life.

    - Ben, Alumni and Board Member
  • As Reform Jews, we were nervous about the religious aspect, but at Schechter, you are free to practice your religion as you see fit. We don't feel different than and we don't feel any pressure to be "more religious". At the same time, we respect those that are more observant than us and love that there is a place for everyone.

Schechter Shavua: May 9, 2025

We are so proud of Schechter graduate Eitan Ehrlich (2016), whose documentary Live. Ride. Cure. will be screened at the Schechter auditorium on May 29th… learn more about it in this issue! Meanwhile, the gears keep turning for current Schechter students: Anafim students (gr. 1-2) learn about the scientific method and test out their own hypotheses with great success, Schechter observed the end of Passover with a delicious and festive Mimouna celebration, and 8th graders share highlights from their trip to Israel! In case you missed it, we’ve got a link to photos of the event that every 8th grader anticipates: the 8th grade vs. faculty basketball game!

Schechter Shavua: April 25, 2025

Discover. Connect. Create. These words aren’t just promotional lines at Schechter; we live them each day: when our middle school students make connections between a 1638 treaty and today; when our after school drama club collaborates with enthusiasm to produce a fantastic musical; when our three- and four- year olds discover that there are different ways to make charoset at Passover, depending on what country or region you are from. We were thrilled that many Schechter students brought guests to Dor l’Dor Day before Passover break so that grandparents and aunts and uncles and special friends could experience the Schechter difference first hand!
