Because of our location on the JCC campus, we benefit from all that the JCC's facilities have to offer, including active recess in the gym on days when weather prevents us from having recess outside.We bring experiential education to our students through activities such as our annual judged science fair; participation in a statewide speech contest; middle school trips to Alabama, Washington, D.C., and Israel; and collaboration with the Pennie Z.
Davis Early Learning Center and Rose Blumkin Jewish Home at the JCC.All of this happens in a warm, supportive environment where we educate and nurture the whole child.We encourage you to explore the vibrancy of the Friedel experience yourself by coming for a visit!.
