It all started 50 years ago when…

A group of dedicated visionaries in Delaware recognized the need and importance of providing an education to Jewish students that integrated Judaic and general studies into an academically excellent curriculum. Albert Einstein Academy officially opened November 11th, 1969, with just a handful of students. The school’s efforts were even applauded by Israel’s Prime Minister at the time, Golda Meir.

Our Mission

The Mission of Albert Einstein Academy Jewish Day School is to educate students in grades TK-5 with a challenging, integrated curriculum of general studies and Judaic studies in a nurturing environment that fosters inquisitive learners, critical thinkers, and dynamic leaders.

Our Core Values

All aspects of an Einstein education are grounded in the Jewish culture’s fundamental values. These values encourage our community to create the world we seek to live in, and our program prepares our students to accomplish that end. Whether repairing the world, generating new knowledge, or finding ways to promote equality and justice, our students welcome the challenge and privilege of bettering the world and the lives of all people.
