Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School, a community Jewish day school, provides a rich dual-curricular education that encourages independent and critical thinking, lifelong learning, self-awareness, and compassion.  In partnership with our families, we inspire our students to become active, dedicated, ethical, and informed citizens and leaders who are committed to  Israel and the vitality of the Jewish people.

A Message From the Head of School

Welcome to the Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School website! Over the past 36 years our school has gained a national reputation for its academic excellence in both general and Judaic studies as well as for its strong sense of community. At Heschel every member is essential to the life of our school. With a current student population of 390 students in transitional kindergarten through 8th grade, a faculty and staff of over 100, and more than 1,000 alumni, Heschel has established itself as a prominent Jewish day school.

For more than three decades, Heschel has been a pillar of the community day school network representing a broad spectrum of religious, educational, and cultural backgrounds. The culture of our school reflects Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s values: integrity, justice, intellectual curiosity, and empathy. With the goal of promoting mutual respect and understanding among Jews, our school is a hub for honest dialogue and exploration of wide-ranging opinions and practices.

We invite you to learn more about our school. We hope that this website provides you with information that will encourage you to visit our campus and see "first-hand" what makes Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School such a special place for children and their families.
