A Core of Substantive Knowledge
Levey Day School is committed to teaching an in-depth knowledge of Hebrew language; sacred Jewish texts and rituals; traditions and customs; and Jewish values and perspectives. We teach Hebrew as both a living language and as the language of Torah and prayer.
We are equally dedicated to excellence in our secular program, which encompasses language arts, mathematics, social and natural sciences, music, art, and physical education.
Throughout both Judaic and secular studies, our highly creative faculty engage, challenge, and inspire our students.
The Development of Values
Levey advocates the highest standards of responsibility and ethical behavior, both between individuals and with regard to the community and the environment. We work toward fostering respectful and tolerant behaviors and attitudes. We are dedicated to developing our students’ awareness of their relationship to G-d.

Levey seeks a balanced, well-rounded education of the whole child. We create a caring, stimulating, and challenging educational environment in which self-confidence, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving can be cultivated. In addition, we emphasize cooperation, forging partnerships, and team building to solve problems and enhance learning. We carefully consider the intellectual growth of each child, recognizing that there are differences in individual learning styles. Our teachers use a variety of methods and techniques in order to provide students with successful experiences that nurture their individuality and their intellectual and moral growth.
Thriving in Diversity
As a community Jewish day school, Levey recognizes and respects Jewish diversity. We welcome children from all families, regardless of affiliation, who are seeking a Jewish education. Our families represent a broad spectrum of the community and come from all denominations and income levels. The school is a functioning learning community. It models committed Jewish living in which basic Jewish values, such as ritual and ethical commandments, holiness and charitable acts, and acts of loving kindness are fostered in our students through the curriculum and a variety of activities and projects.
A School That is a Community and Understands its Connection to a Larger Community
Levey is a community school, which means we are chartered to serve Jewish families of various affiliations. We also view Levey as a community unto itself–and those involved with the school feel a sense of responsibility in supporting other Levey families. We work toward nurturing this sense of community because we realize that the success of any school depends on an ongoing partnership between the school and home.
Furthermore, we recognize the need to build bridges between the school and the community at large by involving students, parents, and faculty with other Jewish and secular organizations in various celebrations, activities, and educational endeavors.
