Admissions
Welcome
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. While academic programs, opportunities, and future outcomes all matter, the most important question is whether a school will truly know your child, nurture their potential, and inspire them to thrive.
At Donna Klein Jewish Academy, we believe education is about more than preparing students for college. It is about preparing them for a meaningful and successful life—one grounded in knowledge, purpose, character, and a strong sense of Jewish identity. Our students are challenged academically, supported personally, and encouraged to discover their passions, think critically, and become confident leaders.
What sets DKJA apart is the balance we provide. We offer rigorous secular and Jewish academics taught by exceptional faculty, while creating an environment where every student is known, valued, and inspired to thrive. Our students have opportunities to explore innovative signature programs in medicine, law, engineering, leadership, and business entrepreneurship, alongside outstanding experiences in the arts, athletics, service, and student life. Whether discovering a new passion or pursuing a long-held dream, students are encouraged to explore, take meaningful risks, and grow with confidence.
Jewish life is at the heart of the DKJA experience. We celebrate the richness and diversity of our Jewish community while helping students develop a strong sense of identity, connection to Israel, and responsibility to others. Through learning, tradition, community, and shared values, students come to understand not only what they believe, but who they are and the kind of difference they can make in the world.
Our goal is to cultivate more than accomplished students. We strive to develop thoughtful, compassionate, resilient, and ethical young people who are prepared to lead with purpose and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
The admissions process at DKJA is about more than determining whether a student is the right fit for our school. It is an opportunity for us to get to know your family, understand your child’s interests and aspirations, and help you discover whether DKJA is the right place for your child to learn, grow, and thrive.
We invite you to discover what makes DKJA special, a community where academic excellence, Jewish identity, meaningful relationships, and limitless possibilities come together to help every student become their very best self.
We look forward to getting to know your family and sharing the DKJA experience with you.

Admissions Policies
Donna Klein Jewish Academy seeks and accepts those students who can benefit from an academically rigorous dual curriculum consisting of general and Judaic Studies. As part of the admissions process, students are given admission testing to determine developmental readiness and academic achievement. Testing for grades Kindergarten through Grade 8 is done on-site at DKJA. Students applying to Grades 9-12 must register and take the Secondary School Admission Test. More information about dates and test sites for the SSAT is available on their website, www.ssat.org.
In addition to admission testing, DKJA requires the student’s records as well as recommendation forms from current teachers, which will indicate how the child has been performing at his/her current or previous school(s).
Kindergarten applicants attend a Kindergarten group activity program. Applicants to Grades 1-8 also spend time in the classroom with our classroom teachers during a day visit to the school. Applicants to Grades 9-12 are interviewed by a high school administrator during their day visit.
