Every faculty member has voice mail. Our Homework Hotline allows parents to check an children's homework assignments. Each Upper School student is assigned a grade-level advisor, a teacher who serves as a central liaison to parents regarding their children's academic progress. The advisor also coordinates projects, community service and homework. During this time, teachers confer with students on any area in which the student would benefit from advanced independent study or additional instruction.
All faculty members work together as a team.
The Academy takes the unusual step of giving teachers time to collaborate daily on content, methods and pedagogy. They meet regularly within departments and across disciplines and grade levels to share their academic expertise, enabling them to integrate material sequentially across the curriculum. Donna Klein Jewish Academy holds its faculty to the highest standards of training and performance. We recruit our faculty from across the United States and other countries to find the best teachers for our students.
