Accelerated Leadership. Students at K - 8 schools are given more leadership opportunities at an earlier age. At KSDS, Middle School students participate in leadership council, conduct schoolwide service activities, mentor younger students and act as role models for the entire school. Lower School students take part in student council, serve as safety patrol, and lead weekly minyan. All of our students lead grade-level programs and perform publicly. Leadership at a young age instills confidence and a strong sense of responsibility.

Nurturing Environment. Grades K - 8 are formative years and developing children should be nurtured during this time. KSDS has an intimate setting that allows faculty to fully know a student’s social, emotional, and academic needs and follow their development until graduation. Every effort is made to create a nurturing environment in which to develop.

Age-Appropriate Atmosphere. Our facilities, events and activities are age appropriate and tailored specifically to K - 8 development. Studies show that a K - 8 setting enhances academic, social, and emotional development which translates to higher academic achievement, better standardized test scores, and greater participation in extracurricular activities. Development & Self-Discovery. The intimate K - 8 setting allows students to better explore their individuality. A child’s academic abilities, learning styles, personal interests, and extracurricular talents become defined and students discover their strengths with caring teachers by their sides. Each student leaves Middle School with a strong sense of identity. Informed Choices. The process of evaluating secondary school options is a special experience for students. Eighth graders work with parents, teachers, and counselors to make the best high school choice based on the individual that they have become, not the child that entered in kindergarten. This active involvement in high school selection also helps strengthen students’ commitment to achieving success and prepares them for future transitions. The Power of Change. Students greatly benefit from a change of scenery, including new friends and challenges. A new school setting provides stimulation and a renewed energy that enhances the overall learning experience. KSDS students leave eighth grade ready for new adventures while remaining connected to one another for peer support.

Experience with Transition. Making the switch to a new school can be difficult but the experience of transition is invaluable. The change from Middle School to a new high school gives students a maturity and knowledge that helps them more confidently transition to college and the work world. It Works. Year after year, our eighth grade students graduate as poised, confident leaders with a strong sense of self.

Why Parents Love Krieger Schechter Day School



The academics are unbelievable. Cri3cal thinking skills, analy3cal skills, public speaking and confidence are taught each day. KSDS is teaching my children to be good, kind, compassionate, caring, empathic, intelligent, curious Jews all based on Jewish values and learning. There is no other place I would rather have my children. Mindy Silverman - Kindergarten and 3rd Grade Parent





Krieger Schechter is building future leaders of the American Jewish community. Through its commitment to teaching and modeling pluralism, Jewish values, Jewish wisdom, cri3cal lifelong learning skills and cri3cal thinking, we know that our children will grow to live meaningful lives as leaders, as Americans and as Jews. It is not just a school but a community of families, building tomorrow together. Rafi Rone - 4th Grade, 6th Grade and 8th Grade Parent We chose Krieger Schechter because we needed a school for our children that was not only academically challenging but also community oriented. KSDS has such a welcoming community for conserva3ve, reform or interfaith families like ourselves and we have had nothing but the best experience. The small class sizes give our kids the individualized aFen3on that they weren’t geHng before. My kids wake up every day excited to go to school and I can’t ask for anything else. Melanie Wilder - Kindergarten and 2nd Grade Parent









Krieger Schechter is egalitarian so it fosters an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect. It provides our children with all of the cri3cal tools that they need to be 21st century learners. But most importantly, I feel like my children can bring their whole selves to school each day. Andrea Lieber - 4th Grade and 7th Grade Parent Krieger Schechter will connect your child with a 3ght-knit community. You will feel that the teachers, parent community and the administra3on will envelop your child in a loving and caring Jewish community. Amy Boker – 2nd Grade and 4th Grade Parent
