Posner Religious School

Learning, Living, Loving...Jewishly

Register for the 2025-26 school year here.

We are not just a Religious School...
We offer an intentional collection of Jewish experiences that focus on three essential components needed to build a well-rounded, well-informed, socially conscience, and enthusiastic Reform Jew. We provide our students with the ability to learn, love, and live Jewishly through educational, social, and family-based experiences. By nurturing their minds, hearts, and spirit, we ensure that their Jewish identity and confidence build them into our future Jewish leaders and role models.

Learning Jewishly

Our formal and experiential learning program engages our students with dynamic and joyful experiences that teach Jewish concepts, heritage, and traditions through a Reform Jewish lens. Students engage in age-appropriate language, tools, and activities to ensure their Jewish knowledge matures through the years. 

Living Jewishly — Engaging Parents and Families

Parent involvement is an essential component needed to pass on our Jewish culture and traditions through the generations. We offer several different opportunities for our families to engage together Jewishly. Whether your family comes to pray, learn, eat or celebrate, we provide meaningful moments and experiences to enhance your family's Jewishness. 

Loving Jewishly — Building Identity Through Social Engagement

Our students regularly engage in fun and meaningful peer-based experiences. Our Director of Congregational Life provides social engagement opportunities for our children that provide regular interaction and socialization with their Jewish peers. Each age group gets special attention, and through unique experiences, they will create meaningful memories to help them build Jewish identities and friendships.
