Students thrive in a nurturing environment where everyone knows and supports one another. New students make friends easily. The traditional and contemporary not only co-exist but complement each other on a campus where a strong sense of community and deep respect for diversity buoys spirits and keeps the focus on education. Daily life revolves around family-centered values and the celebration of traditions among the generations: L’Dor V'dor, Shabbat, Tefillah, lifecycle ceremonies, cultural performances and community service. Parents are welcomed partners in their child’s education and faculty provides a watchful continuum of care between school and home. The DKJA family comes together as one, in a culture of intellectual honesty, kindness and tikkun olam — the commitment to social action and pursuit of social justice — that translates to the larger world.
DKJA is internationally recognized as a leadership model
Now in its 40th year, Donna Klein Jewish Academy continues to expand as a premier Jewish Community Day School, led by Board of Trustees President Shelley Gold and Head of School Helena Levine. DKJA is recognized as the ONLY Jewish Community Day School in the world to have been honored as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthouse School, demonstrating a leadership model of excellence emulated by schools locally, nationally and internationally. DKJA is a renowned educational institution, evident in the practices of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which are infused in all aspects of daily life, curriculum and learning opportunities.
