Welcome to AJA – Where Every Child Is Known, Challenged, and Inspired
At Austin Jewish Academy, we believe every child deserves to be seen, challenged, and inspired.
With dedicated teachers who truly know their students, we create an environment where children feel a sense of belonging, discover their strengths, and are encouraged to reach their full potential.
From Kindergarten through 8th grade, we combine strong academics with hands-on, project-based learning that encourages curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
Jewish values, Hebrew, traditions, and a meaningful connection to Israel are woven into school life, alongside a strong emphasis on character, confidence, leadership, and social-emotional growth.
Located on the beautiful 40-acre Dell Jewish Community Campus, AJA offers a welcoming, community-centered environment with access to exceptional facilities, including science and innovation spaces, athletic fields, a swimming pool, and opportunities to connect with the broader Jewish community.
More than a school, AJA is a place where children are known, families belong, and students build the foundation to thrive – in high school and beyond.
We invite you to experience AJA for yourself. Come meet our teachers, explore our classrooms, and discover what makes our community so special.
