School Notes

  • The Peoria Hebrew Day School strives to create a family community of learners who value lifelong study, respect human diversity and are able to make informed choices about their lives.
  • Our goal is to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment, encouraging each student to feel positive about him/herself and others while preparing each student to be knowledgeable, caring and contributing members of the Jewish people, the United States of America and the world.
  • With small classes and a loving, nurturing environment we work to help each child develop to their full potential and get them ready for a lifetime love of learning. Our alumni have gone on to become Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, PHD's along with other professions. Our preschool is secular, welcoming all children ages 3-5 years from the Peoria metro area. The values taught are a great base, and when children love to learn they are on the right path!
