At Pardes Jewish Day School, we prepare students for a dynamic future by teaching them to think critically, solve complex problems, collaborate effectively, and lead with purpose. Our inclusive community welcomes students of diverse backgrounds, fostering respect, empathy, and a strong sense of belonging.
We integrate rigorous general and Judaic studies with an intentional character development program. Students are empowered to make thoughtful, values-driven choices grounded in integrity, compassion, and responsibility.
Our interdisciplinary curriculum is enriched through Project-Based Learning, where students explore real-world challenges through research, writing, oral presentation, and Jewish values. Programs like CKLA Amplify, Beast Academy, and Responsive Classroom build strong literacy, math reasoning, and emotional intelligence.
Experiential learning—including field trips and service projects rooted in tikkun olam—connects classroom learning to the broader world.
Beyond academics, student life nurtures the whole child. Our 18 competitive sports teams, for students as young as fourth grade, promote healthy competition and leadership. Our Performing Arts, Instrumental, and Choral programs cultivate creativity, communication skills, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Maximizing Each Child’s Potential
At Pardes, we’ve designed a student experience and environment that fosters a love of learning, an insatiable curiosity, and a desire to creatively problem solve. Through a focus on Project-Based Learning, our Responsive Classroom model, and an emphasis on STEM/STEAM, students in Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth Grade are able to better engage with a challenging curriculum as they learn by doing, all while improving their critical thinking skills, collaboration, communication, and empathy. Student confidence is strengthened while interests are explored through athletics, performing arts, and leadership roles in community service projects, Student Council, Chief Science Officer, and Student Ambassadors. We accommodate different learning styles and gives students the autonomy to choose what works best for them. We offer Learning Support, High Achieving-High Ability and Honors Programs.
Jewish Life & Learning
At Pardes, Jewish life isn't just a subject; it's woven into the very fabric of our school experience. Beyond Hebrew and Jewish studies classes, our students are immersed in Jewish values, rituals, language, and culture throughout their day, fostering a deep and meaningful connection to their heritage. Rituals and traditions such as Tefillah, Kabbalat Shabbat, as well as holiday celebrations and Tolkien Olam Mitzvah Days helping others, are incorporated into the student experience.
