Family Engagement
Heilicher parents and extended family members actively participate in their children's school lives.
The feeling of community at this school is truly unique. I know the staff and other parents are looking out for our daughter like she’s family.
"My Jewish day school experience has had a profound impact on my life in high school and now in college. Interestingly, I think it had just as profound an impact on my parents’ lives too."
Getting Involved is Easy
