  • 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
  • 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.

  • 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.

    - Jill, Parent
  • We are beyond thrilled with the rigorous secular education, the community and the spiritual values our children are being taught.

Schechter Shavua: February 13, 2026

Middle schoolers learned genetics by designing and creating their own puppets! Alim students (gr. 3-4) are discovering how energy is stored, released, and transferred—all through motion and play. Anafim (gr. 1-2) recently created, then tested, mini-volcanoes in preparation for building a large-scale class volcano later this year. Kindergarten (Ilanot) students had a hands-on introduction to basic physics concepts, proving that some of the best learning happens when ideas (and objects!) collide. Schechter’s K-8 science classes are brimming with excitement over project-based learning that makes lessons come alive. Read all about these topics, plus after school robotics and science, along with Sarah Montag’s discussion of how the parashah connects to STEAM learning!
