We ensure that each student learns correct use of English grammar, developing strong abilities in oral expression and vocabulary. As a Jewish institution, Donna Klein Jewish Academy teaches its students to embrace their individual obligation to improve the world. Since it is rare for a youngster to be able to carry out what is learned in textbooks or discussed in class, our Community Service Program makes it possible for each student to contribute time and effort meaningfully to the welfare of others. In upper grades, the school requires students to perform public service each year. They also participate in community fund raisers, such as the Leukemia Society's Triathlon, Super Sunday and the Martin Luther King Solidarity March.
Younger students take part in age-appropriate service activities.
Making a difference in the lives of others gives our students the enthusiasm to seek this kind of satisfaction throughout their lives. Our commitment at DKJA to the fine arts is apparent as you walk through the hallways. Children's artwork covers the walls, and their singing voices exude the spirit of the Academy. Visual arts, music and drama are woven throughout the curriculum. Artists are considered as part of their cultural milieus.
