Welcome to Donna Klein Jewish Academy Lower School!  You have arrived at a very special place.  As you walk through our halls, you see evidence of exceptional scholarship, an incredible program that integrates the arts, and awards that signal the accomplishments of our students in competitions both in sports and academics.  What you also see are students with smiling faces treating each other with respect, faculty interacting with students in ways that encourage and support academic and emotional development, and parents who are actively involved in the daily life of the school. 

What you can feel is the pride we take in our Jewish heritage and in learning.  The soul of our school is in bringing the traditions of thousands of years to our children.  We are raising these youngsters, in partnership with their families, to be the leaders of tomorrow.  As Principal of the Lower School for the past 13 years, I can attest to the fact that Donna Klein Jewish Academy is more than a school . . . a family.   

Sincerely,
Natalie Friedman, M.Ed.
