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 MemberSchechter 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 2014As 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, ParentWe are beyond thrilled with the rigorous secular education, the community and the spiritual values our children are being taught.
- Jill, ParentEach 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 ChairwomanHaving Rosh Hashanah fall later in the school year means that students have more time to do in-depth learning about the chagim. See what some of our students have been focusing on regarding Rosh Hashanah and Tashlich. And our 8th graders led their middle school peers in a moving Tekes commemorating the one-year anniversary of October 7, 2023. Plus, read Rabbi Berger’s poignant thoughts on Yom Kippur and being in denial.

Students in Anafim (gr. 1-2) practice noticing and making observations while outside at the playground. Middle school students (gr. 5-8) develop those skills even further while designing and creating their own bubble wands using the Engineering Design Process in Makerspace! Learn all about it in this week’s Schechter Shavua!
