The AJA School Divisions
Early Childhood, Preschool & Kindergarten
At AJA Early Childhood, our children engage with the natural world, music, prayer and age-appropriate rituals, a rich variety of materials, the traditions of our ancestors, and are introduced to Hebrew.
Lower School
The Lower School builds on the basic skills from Early Childhood, enhancing students' creative and critical thinking abilities. Students move deeper into the mechanics of writing, math and reading comprehension.
Middle School
Our Middle School experience capitalizes on our students’ increasing ability to think abstractly. AJA encourages our students to develop complex strategies for thinking about the world in which they live.
Upper School
We focus on four areas: intellectual, social-emotional, physical, and religious-spiritual. To nurture the well-rounded student, in addition to academic excellence, we promote participation in sports, fine arts, and service learning.
