The Project Based Learning curriculum teaches students to collaboratively solve real-world problems. Teachers work together to meet individual students needs, so every child experiences deeper learning and develops high expectations of personal excellence.We are an inclusive community of learners, and integrate Social Emotional Learning at every level within our school culture to empower students to navigate the world in a healthy way and enable sound decision making. Students develop strong relationships with their classmates, across grade levels, and with faculty. Graduates move on to high school with character, confidence, and the ability to self-advocate. We are dedicated to inspire in our students an enduring commitment to spiritual growth and a meaningful connection to Jewish life now and for the future. As a community day school, AJA acknowledges and honors the diverse spectrum of Jewish life, instead of teaching one "right or wrong way" to practice Judaism. Learning about Judaism is also about living Jewish values and traditions, not just in the Jewish Studies classroom but as an integral part of school culture.Our exceptional community of families and teachers raises our students to be todays accomplished, innovative thinkers and tomorrows compassionate problem-solvers and leaders. - Austin Jewish Academy - 7300 Hart Ln - Austin - TX - 78731
