• January 31,2013 - Love, love, love this private school! We''re new to the community and I can''t brag enough about the JAO. The staff is amazing. My son absolutely loves his teacher. And, he''s having so much fun learning. Watching him grow is just amazing. He''s reading, he''s speaking Hebrew, and he''s constantly singing. There are so many get togethers and fun activities. We''re delighted to have been accepted. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mom of 2 Boys*-Posted by Parent *
• October 06,2012 - Our child has been a student at JAO for a few years. Teachers work diligently each year to ensure academic growth. The school''s advanced technology in the classroom gives our child necessary skills for the future as well as a variety of ways to learn. The staff is amazing and always willing to hear suggestions.*-Posted by Parent *
• October 06,2012 - If you are looking for state-of-the-art academic programs, individualized learning along with Hebrew immersion classes and Judaica teachings, this is the place for you! The school has a strong sense of community which starts at the top. My son has attended for 3 years now. The staff encourage his growth and learning in all areas of his life - not just academics (although the academics are very strong). Jewish values are stressed. Music and art classes are wonderful! Very happy with the school!*-Posted by Parent *
• September 08,2012 - Jewish Academy of Orlando (formerly HDS) is a wonderful school focused on academic excellence and jewish values. There is no other school like it in the area - and no other community like the parents at JAO!*-Posted by Parent *
