Our Mission

As an independent school on the Brandeis University campus, our mission is to provide our students with:

  • the fundamental concepts of Jewish religion, culture, and values;
  • the opportunity to develop positive feelings about themselves as Jews;
  • Hebrew reading skills;
  • the foundation for meaningful participation in Jewish rituals;
  • a sense of community with the Jewish people;
  • a sense of concern for both their immediate world and the broader world in which they live;
  • exposure to a wide range of Jewish experiences; and
  • the ability to make informed decisions about how they will live their lives as adult Jews.
