Educational Philosophy
The future of the Jewish people depends upon the education of its children. The EKA provides the finest Jewish and secular education and instills in each child a deep love of, and commitment to, Judaism. Our students are taught to have an appreciation of the heritage and traditions of the Jewish people and to learn the values of honesty, respect, cooperation and love of learning. It recognizes that the wisdom of our ancestors continues to have meaning and application for us today.
The EKA community promotes cooperation and harmony among all students in the school, as well as a sense of unity with all the Jewish people (K’lal Yisrael). We endeavor to instill in our children a deep sense of love, respect, and commitment to the land of Israel, the people of Israel and Torah. We foster and promote among our pupils the qualities of love and loyalty to the United States, respect for its laws, a commitment to its democratic values and a sense of responsibility for the world in which we live.
