Empowering students to learn for life
Guided by Jewish values and rooted in strength of community
At the San Diego Jewish Academy, we blend modern education and curriculum design with deeper purpose and traditional Jewish values to cultivate successful learners and exceptional human beings. Students receive a superior educational experience within an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
Three schools, one vibrant community
From early childhood to 12th grade--and everything in between--we are one SDJA family, supporting and strengthening each other.
Early Childhood Center
18 months - 5 years
The ECC provides a safe environment where your child will be nurtured and supported throughout their toddler and preschool years.
Golda Meir Lower School
Kindergarten - 5th grade
GMLS provides students with a broad education encompassing art, music, physical education, science, and technology, emphasizing strong academics alongside Jewish education.
Maimonides Upper School
6th - 12th grade
Small class sizes, a tight-knit community, and involved faculty prepare MUS students for a seamless transition into college and adulthood.
Student Snapshot
Meet Andrew
Maimonides Upper School
My favorite part of the community here is the fact that everyone is supporting you no matter what you're doing. Everyone's always cheering for you, and it's great; we are very lucky to have that. As a senior, I will most definitely miss the strong sense of community and the relationships that I've created.
Support SDJA
The exceptional educational experience offered at SDJA, including personalized learning opportunities, cutting-edge facilities, and excellent teachers, is made possible with the support of our community.
What our alumni say
"There's a sense of it being full circle watching my children attend SDJA. I learned so much at SDJA as a student, and it warms my heart to see my children follow in my footsteps."
Aaron Hurvitz
SDJA Parent and Alumni
"SDJA gave me more than just an education; the school and community showed me what it means to be a student of Torah and Jewish history, a true mensch (good person), a lover of Israel and a speaker of Hebrew, a friend, a learner, a teacher, and a leader."
Kayla S.
SDJA Alumni
"My time at SDJA was important in shaping my personal development and Jewish values. The size of SDJA encouraged me to participate in a variety of extracurriculars, like sports, chess, and volunteer work, allowing me to learn important leadership skills. This balance of experiences has allowed me to find success in college, academically and socially."
