    At Perelman, we aim for the highest standards of excellence. Our students experience an outstanding general and Jewish studies curriculum that helps them develop into secure, well-rounded individuals. We foster a love of learning, intellectual inquiry and critical thinking that challenge and empower students to seek knowledge with confidence and enthusiasm.
  • Jewish Literacy and Pride

    In an atmosphere rich with Jewish and American culture, we inspire children to understand, embrace, and take pride in the knowledge, faith and values of their own heritage while respecting diverse cultures, lifestyles and beliefs. Our core Jewish values include: the centrality of modern Israel; Hebrew as a living language; devotion to the ideal of Klal Yisrael (shared community and destiny); and the importance of Jewish learning.
  • Value-Based and Child-Centered

    We encourage children to understand ethics, morals and values through a Jewish lens. Our program is responsive to the learning style and the social, emotional and intellectual development of each student.

  • Dual Language Curriculum

    A growing body of research supports the powerful impact of learning two languages on a child’s cognitive development, performance and ability to solve problems. This approach to learning in two languages across the subjects nurtures and cultivates a student’s ability to reason, think creatively and relate to the world with flexibility and open-mindedness.
