A Message from the Board of Trustees

Donna Klein Jewish Academy continues to be a powerful presence in the world of Jewish Community Day Schools. Our theme for this year is “A Jewish Community Rooted in Tradition and Excellence.” This annual theme serves as a road map to guide our school in its quest to provide students with a mission-driven and outstanding educational experience. As a premier Jewish Day School, we never lose sight of the importance of keeping our Jewish heritage and traditions in focus, while maintaining the highest levels of academic learning. Students attending DKJA have the benefit of a dual curriculum that provides an education inclusive of community values, a love of Israel, Jewish continuity, and a superb college preparatory education.
 
The DKJA Board of Trustees is comprised of parents, grandparents, and community members whose purpose is to further the mission of the school: “To educate our children and the DKJA community to be knowledgeable and responsible citizens of the world, committed to Jewish values and lifelong learning.”
 
The board is dedicated to ensuring that both the present and long-term financial integrity of the school is never compromised, and that DKJA continues to have the strength and ability to persevere and thrive in its mission to educate Jewish children for generations to come.
