Overview A glance at the educational landscape of our Jewish community shows that it is rich and varied. Looking chronologically at Jewish education, many area synagogues and the JCC's offer pre-school programs, beginning with infant care.
Day schools provide another track for Jewish education.
Torah Academy, offering a program through 8th grade, has been in existence for 52 years, and the Minneapolis Jewish Day School, which extends to grade 6, is in its 13th year, and the Talmud Torah Day School of St. Paul. This year, a community middle school starting with grade 7 was inaugurated with a class of 21 students. This community school is the joint effort of the Minneapolis Jewish Day School and the Talmud Torah Day School of St. Paul. The Talmud Torah Day School of St. Paul also has about 60 students in its kindergarten through grade 6 program from the Minneapolis area. A community high school, called Akiva, has launched it's first ninth grade class this year.
