Welcome to Posnack Jewish Day School
Educating Leaders Since 1974
Posnack Jewish Day School offers a unique, challenging, educational experience, combining an intensive focused secular education with an innovative, exciting Jewish curriculum. At Posnack School, we are concerned not only with our students’ academic accomplishments, but also with their social and character development. We believe this can be achieved most successfully when parents and school staff work together in a dynamic learning environment. At Posnack School, every child is nurtured to reach their potential.
“From all who taught me have I gained understanding.”
Psalms 119:99
Lower School Main Campus
Posnack Lower School Jr. Kindergarten through 5th Grade offers students a challenging dual curriculum that combines the best of general and Jewish education. Our warm and nurturing environment instills confidence in students and prepares them for successful educational journeys. At Posnack Lower School, we see the lower school as our first and best opportunity to instill a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. Our stimulating curriculum and co-curricular activities engage our students, challenging them to think critically and creatively. Children not only learn about Judaism, they experience and “live it” through prayer, Shabbat and holiday celebrations, and a set of behavioral expectations rooted in Torah and Jewish tradition. “Living” their Judaism has a great impact upon shaping children’s lifelong beliefs, attitudes and values. It helps them develop a more complete, wholesome self-concept and identification with the family unit, their fellow students, the Jewish community, the American people, and the world at large.

Hochberg Middle School
Middle school is a vital period of transition for students. At Posnack School we help guide our students through the rigorous academic and social choices that pave the way for successful high school and college careers. The middle school years present a great educational and social challenge for students. At Posnack School we strive to meet that challenge by engaging students in a combined general and Judaic studies curriculum that promotes academic excellence and rigor, while emphasizing Jewish identity and community connection.
