SOmething For Everyone
“A wonderful curriculum to satisfy all students.”
- Marilyn
an indelible influence
“Einstein had an indelible influence on my son. He is regularly invited to chant Torah at the high holidays and other occasions because HE CAN. His understanding of and ability to read Hebrew is off the charts compared to other Jewish kids . . . I’m not even Jewish, but I am so proud of what he has been able to accomplish. He has a solid identity as a Jew. When he had his bar mitzvah, he did 90% of the service. I am happy to put that in writing as an attestation for the school.”

Israeli Tour Guides AMazed
“I just got back from a two week vacation in Israel. Both my children attended AEAJDS and were amazingly well prepared for the trip. They were able to understand many of the signs and communicate quite well. Our Israeli tour guide was amazed with their background knowledge of the history of Israel, the religious customs and biblical knowledge and their awareness of the overall culture. My other nephews who had not attended Jewish day school often glazed over when the tour guide went into discussion mode but my children were proud to share their rather extensive knowledge. I knew they were in good hands but WOW... they absorbed so much more than I realized from this amazing school. Thank you for all of the care and nurturing to all the teachers and staff at Albert Einstein Academy!”

being jewish is fun
“Einstein gave my kids a rootedness in our tradition that I really value. They understood that being Jewish is both fun and important. It’s an integral part of who they are.”

Impact on the community
“I cannot begin to tell you what an emotional and spiritual boost it was to have these students and their families join us! When you consider the value of Albert Einstein Academy . . . consider the day school’s actual and potential impact on the larger Jewish community.”
- Rabbi Michael Beals
Teaching our non-jewish daughter cultural awareness
“Our family is Protestant and I personally attended a Christian school for most of my life, but we chose to send our daughter to Einstein because of the engaging learning environment, the meaningful education, and the close relationships that the students and families develop. While Einstein is a Jewish school, it has given my daughter a sense of cultural awareness, which is a trait that helps students perform better and display more adaptability. Additionally, exposing children to a foreign language early on helps ignite their learning in all subjects, and exposing children to other cultures’ customs helps to normalize differences. Overall, we love Einstein – our daughter is receiving an excellent education full of challenging work, love, encouragement, and great friends.”

The benefits of an einstein education for our non-jewish children
“Our decision to bring our children to Einstein grew out of a desire for them to learn and grow in a smaller and more personalized educational environment that values them as individuals and gives them the social, emotional, and intellectual tools to begin to understand the world around them and how they can fit into it. Einstein’s commitment to project-based learning and to providing a well-rounded education has had tangible benefits for our kids, who have become increasingly confident in themselves and their ability to handle challenging tasks. And even though we are not ourselves members of the Jewish faith, we deeply value the benefits of Einstein’s multi-lingual educational program and the solid grounding our children are receiving in Jewish values and ethics. They are growing into curious, mindful, and caring persons who will understand their responsibility to make positive contributions to their communities. Einstein is a warm and welcoming community dedicated to helping our children become their best selves.”

Warm, Caring, and Safe
“My grandparents were Jewish, but I wasn’t raised with any religion, and much of my family is actually Catholic. However, I chose to send my daughter to Einstein largely because I wanted her to attend a school that feels warm, caring, and safe, and she has truly thrived there. She benefits from the small classes, the individualized attention, and the strong sense of community.”
- Teresa
Alumni Testimonials
“Einstein instilled in me a love for learning that will last forever, and gave me a sense of community. It was during classes at Einstein that I first fell in love with art and computers, a passion that set me on my future path to make me who I am today.”
- Sarah Driban, Class of 2005, UI Designer and Developer at Red Tettemer O’Connel & Partners
“Einstein helped foster my relationship with Judaism, which continues to this day. I made strong friendships that will last a lifetime, and I owe much of my success and love for learning to a few special teachers. I will always look back on my years there with fondness.”
- Sylvia Boyd, Class of 2005, Senior Art Director, CDM (full-service ad agency)
“Einstein is where I met some of my best friends to this day. It’s also where I discovered I could make people laugh by doing very stupid things, like blowing snot rockets. Ultimately the foundation for a very lucrative career.”
- Ben Warheit, Class of 1998, Writer for NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers
“My biggest takeaway from my education at Einstein was the academic stimulus and challenges I received from a young age. Much of middle school was a review of what I already learned at Einstein.”
- Ben Goodman, Class of 2003
“Einstein taught me the importance of community and is a key reason I’ve had success in my career in the entertainment business thus far. My classmates from Einstein continue to be the most important friends in my life”.
