Who Attends Schechter?

Every year, parents from 30 communities throughout the Chicago area (see map) choose Solomon Schechter Day School to educate their children.  Our diverse community includes families who attend more than 40 synagogues and represent a wide spectrum of Jewish observance.  Our families originate from the United States, Israel, Chile, Argentina, Russia, Ethiopia, and more.  Our students and families value the richness and diversity of our Schechter community.

 

A Strong Academic Foundation
As a Schechter graduate, I wanted my children to have the same intimate, nurturing environment that I had as a child at Schechter, as well as the strong academic foundation, connection to Israel, and love of Jewish life. It's wonderful to see how our children have thrived at Schechter and how well-prepared they are for high school. We are also proud of the people they have become -- their connection to Judaism and their values.
