The Solomon Schechter Day School of Bergen County is a Jewish Day School, which educates students from Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Being affiliated with the Conservative Movement, we recognize diverse forms of Jewish practice and welcome Jewish students of varying religious backgrounds. At Solomon Schechter, we have an enriched curriculum which brings together two great cultures, Jewish and Western. It is our goal to instill in our students a pride in and commitment to both Jewish and American values. Our curriculum strives to help students achieve academic excellence in both English and Hebrew language arts, mathematics, social science, general science and religious studies, as well as music, art, and physical education. We integrate material taught within each grade, as well as within curricular areas across grade levels.

By reinforcing critical thinking, analysis, and problem solving, we prepare our students for a lifetime of learning. ...read more
