The Eleanor Kolitz Academy is An independent K-8 community day school and the only Jewish day school in San Antonio. Since 1972 it has provided students with an outstanding secular and Jewish education. We serve students from the entire spectrum of Jewish affiliation and we believe that all children should have access to a Jewish education. Graduates have attended numerous top rated colleges including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and The University of Texas at Austin.
