When young students attend a Jewish school, they receive a general education that prepares them for advanced studies. Researchers at Brandeis University have found that students who come from Jewish day schools arrive at college better prepared to succeed academically compared to their peers from public and independent schools. They think more critically and ask questions, and they become professional leaders at a higher rate than their peers. Perhaps more importantly, however, these day school graduates also enter higher education with a stronger global awareness and a greater inclination to positively impact their communities.
Furthermore, while developing academically, students in Jewish day schools receive a thorough grounding in their faith and culture. They develop a personal familiarity with Jewish history and literature as well as the Hebrew language. Students make connections with their community in Israel and their family at home, as Jewish schools typically emphasize the role of the family. In addition, because Jewish schools emphasize learning positive values and living by them, the school community reinforces positive choices and encourages children to make better decisions.
