Letter from Head of School

Shalom and welcome to Weizmann Day School!

As an educator and a parent, I know that selecting a school for your child, like the start of any journey in life, can feel both exciting and daunting.  Setting the course for your child’s early education and development is indeed a big decision.  That’s why few experiences match the joy of introducing prospective families to our school and witnessing those “aha” moments when they fall in love with everything Weizmann has to offer.

After over 27 years in our community, Weizmann has firmly established itself among this area’s renowned private schools.   Our school offers a world-class education across a broad array of subjects, and prepares our graduates for admission to and success in an impressive list of secondary schools and universities. In addition, Weizmann fosters each student’s Jewish identity through Hebrew language immersion and by integrating Jewish studies, culture and values into everything we learn and do. 

What truly sets this school apart is our unique ruah: Hebrew for spirit.  The Weizmann ruah, above all else, is a warm sense of community. It encompasses our teachers and specialists whose expertise, creativity and passion shine each day as they inspire each student to realize his or her full potential.  It also includes our students who are encouraged to question, challenge and share their views, while also being kind and respectful.  Finally, it embraces our families who span the spectrum of backgrounds and traditions but share a dedication for raising compassionate, inquisitive children who love to learn and care about the world around them.

I invite you to schedule a tour so that you can see all that this gem of a school has to offer.  I hope the next “aha” moment will be ours to share. 

B’Shalom,

Lisa Feldman
