South Florida Jewish Academy believes that all members of its learning community – students, parents, teachers, and administrators – must be equally valued for their participation in creating quality education.

We believe that all children regardless of their challenges have a right to become valuable and productive members in the community, and have the ability to learn and experience the love of their tradition.

We believe that all children with the proper learning and therapy will have the opportunities to achieve personal dreams and goals.

We believe that small classroom size and individualized curriculums contribute to successful outcomes.

We believe that success of our outcome is directly related to the dedication and commitment of our qualified staff.

From this philosophy of our school as a learning community, we have set forth the following mission statement.

Certified Teachers

Our qualified educators focus on mainstream academics and Judaic studies for students in kindergarten through 8th grade using their extensive experience in special education. Our staff of speech and language pathologists and occupational therapists help our children grow socially, as well as academically.

Small Teacher - Student Ratio

Children receive quality education through innovative small group instruction. A small student teacher ratio ensured student success.

Individualized Curriculum

Because we recognize the fact that every child learns at a different pace, we tailor each curriculum to meet his or her needs and abilities.

Teaching Approach

We recognize induvidualize learning styles and address student needs through multi-sensory learning in core subject areas. To enhance meaningful learning, our curriculum includes art, music, and physical education.

Judaic Studies

Here at South Florida Jewish Academy, a strong knowledge base of the Jewish Heritage is equally as important as mainstream academia. We teach traditional Jewish values and the Hebrew language to ensure students gain a core understanding of their religious and cultural backrounds.

Parent Cooperation

To us, parent interaction is just as important as teacher involvement, as the parents are the ones who know their children's capabilities the best. We work closely with them to address their children's different ability levels in a cheerful and nurturing learning environment.

Policy of Non-Discrimination

We practice a policy of nondiscrimination in employment and admissions. We hire employees and admit students of either sex and of any race, color, non disqualifying handicap, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin.
