Why PJA

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

PJA’s hands-on, interdisciplinary curriculum drives students to explore many areas of interest and make connections between S.T.E.A.M., Humanities, and Jewish learning. We offer a rich and diverse program in Jewish studies that enhances critical thinking skills steeped in tradition. Students learn Hebrew as a modern language of communication as well as a way to connect with ancient texts. PJA also offers extensive enrichment programs including music, visual and media arts, drama, service learning and volunteer opportunities, P.E., and wellness classes. Our makerspace supports classroom learning and provides a place for students to explore, create, design, and innovate.
