The Epstein School, identified as an Education Innovator by the US Department of Education,  is a nationally recognized Jewish Day School with a bilingual program, established in 1973. The school serves students from age 18 months through 8th grade. There are two campuses: The Sandy Springs Campus (Serving the Atlanta Metro area) and the Intown campus, located in Buckhead and housed at the Ahavath Achim Synagogue. Epstein graduates are prepared to become lifelong, independent learners and to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. Epstein’s unique academic bilingual program, combined with integration of advanced technology and the arts gives Epstein students a competitive edge and is one of the key reasons Epstein graduates go on to be so successful in the very best high schools and colleges of their choosing. The school's goal is to provide experiences that develop the whole child, inspires academic excellence and moves beyond to the arts, physical education, critical thinking skills and community service. Epstein provides a setting that stimulates academic growth and facilitates the learning of a diverse student population. As professional educators, the faculty understand the importance of individualized learning tailored to challenge each child; they use methodologies that enhance each student’s learning style and pace. The school's nationally recognized academic program supports, maximizes and enriches the educational experience of every student. The Epstein School prepares students to be vigorous leaders of a new generation: knowledgeable, committed Jews and responsible citizens. In 2005, Epstein was identified as a US Department of Education Innovator and is one of only three Jewish day schools in the nation to be honored as a 2004 Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.

School Notes:

  • The Epstein School's unique academic bilingual program provides students with a competitive edge. The school teaches through two languages: Hebrew and English. Their commitment to language-based education continues with the introduction of Spanish in the seventh grade. Young children who learn a second language develop stronger communication skills, and in a global economy that provides them with better economic and employment opportunities. Professional educators know that both right and left brain development are critical to student academic performance and success. At Epstein, students are provided with the very best educational foundation that emphasizes the development of both sides of the brain, with a very strong right brain component. The advantages of bilingual education have been researched for decades and specifically the benefits of Hebrew education for right brain development has been documented in a book by New York Times Best-selling author, Daniel Pink in his book A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule The Future. Supported by an atmosphere that values a caring community and service to others, The Epstein School is confident that their students will thrive and develop academic skills to their maximum potential. As leaders and experts in education, Epstein uses a unique, integrated curricular approach, which has been recognized for its excellence on both the national and international level. Epstein instructs in a manner such that multiple intelligences, languages, metacognition skills and subjects are taught concurrently. Students must know how to access, understand, evaluate and apply vast amounts of information to succeed in whatever profession they might choose. The school strives to create an environment in which students learn how to apply their knowledge and skills independently.
