“We love being part of the GJA community! We appreciate that the academics is differentiated so the students are continually challenged. We adore the warm, supportive teachers and staff who have been with the school for years. We know that our children will grow up to be kind, responsible people because of what they are learning and experiencing at GJA!”

Christine C.

Parent

“Everyone from staff to other families welcome you with open arms. The moment we started here we felt like family. They have made the transition from daycare to kindergarten the easiest switch. All the staff has been quick to help me with any and all questions. I am beyond grateful and blessed to be a part of the GJA family. ”

Taylor W.

Parent

“Several reasons: the academics, the bonds our son has established and the sense of community and family. But above all, we felt that in a city like Orlando, where it is hard to establish a Jewish identity like it is in other towns, GJA would give him a base to build a lifelong love and embracement of Judaism.”

Jeff G.

Alumni & Parent

 “The differentiated learning is a key element to providing a superior education to every student. Every child is challenged at their own level in several subjects which allows them to thrive in an nurturing environment. The faculty has immense knowledge in a variety of learning styles to better meet the individual needs of each student.”
