Mission & Values
At the South Area Solomon Schechter
Day School, we are devoted to inspiring Jewish children
to embrace the knowledge and faith of their heritage. We
embrace inclusiveness. Our goal is to teach our students
to become educated, committed, and ethical members of both
their Jewish and American communities within the teachings
and traditions of the Conservative movement. We teach a
love of Israel. We empower our students to learn and to
seek knowledge with confidence and enthusiasm within a
challenging and supportive environment. Our school reaches
into the family, creating a partnership in faith and in
learning. |
