Inspiring a Community of Students to Transform the World
Project Based Learning
The PBL curriculum teaches students to collaboratively solve real-world problems. Teachers work together to meet individual student’s needs, so every child experiences deeper learning and develops high expectations of personal excellence.
Jewish Studies
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.
Social Emotional Learning
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.
PSIA (Private School Interscholastic Association) Competition
Austin Jewish Academy students delivered an outstanding performance at this year’s PSIA (Private School Interscholastic Association) competition. PSIA is a statewide academic program that offers private school students the opportunity to compete in a wide range of scholastic events including mathematics, spelling, writing, and number sense. The competition encourages students to challenge themselves academically while celebrating curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of learning.
Education for a lifetime
Grounded in the understanding that cognition and emotion are tightly intertwined, we embrace a whole child approach to supporting and educating every AJA student. By inspiring a deep and personal love of learning, we give our students an education for a lifetime.
