The JPPS-Bialik Advantage

JPPS is home to all of our families, regardless of their backgrounds or denominational affiliations.  We value diversity of thought both inside and outside of the classroom. Our students are capable of articulating different positions, engaging in meaningful conversations and empathizing with others. In a  world where you can be anything, JPPS students are encouraged to be themselves, and to be kind.

The Success of the Four Pillars

 The Four Pillars of the schools’ mission are:

  • Teaching and Learning: Ensure we provide our students and faculty with the services and support they need to achieve their highest potential and achieve personal excellence.
  • Lev, Ruach, Nefesh (Heart, Spirit, Soul): Foster a supportive and empowering environment that nurtures the spiritual, physical and emotional health of our community.
  • Governance and Advancement: Reinforce the future of our school through the prioritization of strategic fundraising and investments in strengthening our board of directors and lay leaders.
  • Community: Strengthen our community through a renewed focus on our commitment to Jewish values, family engagement, connection to Israel, and global citizenship.
