Middle School

Heschel West Middle School is a community Jewish day school with a uniquely progressive general studies program that emphasizes experiential learning. We develop committed and enthusiastic learners who are confident about their future. We foster self-respect and provide the tools and instruction that contribute to social development and stability during a fragile age in an adolescent's emotional development. We do so by creating consistent opportunity to succeed and by treating each student with sensitivity to his or her unique potential.

Heschel West Middle School embraces the traditions and educational philosophy of Heschel West. While engaging in an academically rigorous program, we also challenge, motivate, excite and empower our students with three unique programmatic areas . . .

• Applied Technology: Hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies, including video production, music composition, animation and more
• Community & Political Activism: Instruction in political awareness enabling students to become a responsible citizen and an integral part of our democracy
• Extreme Experiences: Participation in extreme sports, environmental programs and outdoor education
