PJA FAQ

PJA welcomes students of all backgrounds and faiths. All students participate in the Jewish life of the school, including our Hebrew and Jewish Studies curriculum, celebrating Jewish holidays, and experiencing tefillah (prayer).

Our community is a welcoming one that is inclusive and diverse. Our community is made up of a broad spectrum of families, who have different ways to honor faith and culture. Our faculty and staff understand that every student learns in their own way and we strive to support and enrich each child’s learning experience.
