History and Mission

Mission Statement

“Upon three things the world is based: On Torah, on prayer, and acts of loving kindness.” – Avot 1:2

Our mission is to serve the entire Jewish Community of the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan area by providing a superior academic and Judaic education.  We nurture within our students a passion for learning.  We foster a devotion to the study of Torah, and a commitment to Eretz Yisrael (the land and people of Israel) and Tikkun Olam (repairing of the world).  We foster a respect for the individual as well as an appreciation for the unity of the Jewish People.  The New Orleans Jewish Day School will prepare our children for full participation in American Society and Jewish life.

Vision Statement

Each child attending New Orleans Jewish Day School will become a lifelong learner, a productive citizen, and an individual with Jewish value, high self-worth and self-motivation.
