What is a Portland Jewish Academy Education?
Portland Jewish Academy (PJA) is a unique Jewish community day school, offering a superior academic general education and an equally superior Jewish education, that celebrates Jewish diversity, maximal inclusion, and religious purposefulness. Throughout each grade, everything we teach is infused with Jewish tradition and values, creating an atmosphere of respect, kindness and caring. These values are also shared within our International Baccalaureate (IB) curricular framework. Click here for more information on IB at PJA. Our students’ academic achievements are extraordinary, matching the finest private schools in the nation. Our curriculum goes well beyond traditional state guidelines. Exceptional science, math, language and literature are only the beginning. Our students leave PJA well prepared to excel in high school and college, and become ethical, responsible, and very involved leaders in their school and local communities, as well as in programs all over the world.
