School Notes:
- The Emery/Weiner School is different. First, they provide the finest academics; second, they educate the whole child; third, they maintain a unique student culture; and fourth, they do all of this in an environment that is framed by and infused with progressive and pluralistic Judaism. The academic program encompasses traditional and progressive methods. Emery/Weiner's approach to Judaic studies is a modern one, which seeks to make the material and the traditions relevant for each student. And their culture is one that empowers students in order to create in each a sense of responsibility not only for their school community, but for the greater community at large.
