Three divisions, one community.
The Gordon School is dedicated to providing an exceptional Hebrew and Judaic studies curriculum combined with a strong general studies program within a single framework creating a supportive learning environment which nurtures the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of each child.
Our core values Kehila (community), Derech Eretz (respect), and Torah Lishma (a love of learning), are put at the center of everything we do, inspiring confidence, creativity, and individuality in our students. Presented through hands-on, project-based learning our curriculum is enhanced through STEAM activities infusing critical thinking creating a unique 21st century learner experience. This approach fuels creativity, with students getting out of their chairs, mapping projects on white-board walls, and building. They are active learners and designers – and they have fun doing it. With the addition of physical education, art, music, Spanish, Hebrew, and Judaic classes, the Gordon Day School approach to education is successful in creating the delicate balance between fun and learning.

Students in grades K-5 work for weeks to write, illustrate, and bind their own pieces of creative writing. They then present their publications at an annual Publishing Party for parents, special friends and senior administrators. This process brings writing to life for them, and our teachers incorporate various facets of the curriculum into the creative writing and publishing experience.
The experience of preparing for and presenting original works at an early age enriches our student’s experience in a myriad of ways. They enter the world of literature as authors – not just readers. They become excited and engaged in language arts as a creator, not just a bystander. Our teachers spend hours working one-on-one with each student to bring out his/her unique potential. Students learn the hard work, effort and discipline required to prepare a product that they are proud and excited to present.
The Early Childhood Center (ECC) provides unique opportunities for emotional, social, creative, physical and cognitive development of each child within a Jewish environment. A warm, loving atmosphere permeates the center. We embrace the entire family as the children embark on their first educational journey from 3 months through Pre-Kindergarten.

We teach our children to cherish the wisdom and faith of Judaism and embrace its rich heritage. Our age-appropriate programs promote growth and development in each child’s intellectual, social-emotional, ethical and spiritual domains.
