The Jacobson Sinai Academy is the only liberal Jewish day school in the northern area of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Our beautiful, lush campus borders the northern corner of Greynolds Park and the Oleta River.
We are dedicated to providing our students with a warm and nurturing environment.
Our curriculum integrates secular studies with our rich Jewish history and values and with the modern Hebrew language.
Jewish Education seeks to combine the best we can learn from our interaction with secular culture with the rich traditions of our Jewish heritage.

Talented faculty and dedicated families work together guiding our students to attain their maximum potential, become lifelong learners and thinkers, develop high moral standards, respect diversity, and make meaningful contributions as members of Klal Yisrael and as Americans.
