What Sets the Posnack School Apart

Posnack School draws upon the Jewish ethos of hard work and study to produce graduates of the highest caliber, acceptable to the most prestigious institutes of higher education. Our school promotes academic excellence as a central goal. Graduates will master advanced studies in both the arts and sciences. We stress the concepts of team membership and participation in athletics. Sport’s emphasis on cooperation, fitness, and healthy competition, is central to our curriculum.

Our philosophy is firmly rooted in Torah and is dedicated to the global community of Jews and the State of Israel. The Posnack School student is one who is exceptionally well rounded, learning in an environment that establishes harmony between Hebrew language, religion, Jewish culture and a variety of advanced secular studies. The Hebrew language, the vehicle of Jewish renaissance, will be taught as the portal to our collective past, present, and future.

Posnack School emphasizes the development of ethical and moral values from a Judaic point of view. Our school places great importance on the concept of tikkun olam (social action). The focus is on how students, as individuals and as a community, can help improve themselves and their world. The Posnack School stimulates an awareness of Jews around the world as well as a strong focus on human rights for all people. Our school acknowledges the inequities in our society and emphasizes tzedakah (philanthropy) in its fullest sense. Civic responsibility and communal participation are standards set for every Posnack School student.

The Posnack Way is more than an education—it’s a lifelong connection. It lives in the hearts and minds of every student, family, and alum who calls Posnack home. For our 50th anniversary, we had our Posnack School community share about what makes this school so special.
