Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School

The Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School on Chicago’s near north side is a fully accredited, independent, co-educational Jewish day school with nearly 500 students in nursery through eighth grade. Day School families represent a microcosm of Chicago’s diverse Jewish community, spanning the continuum of practice and belief. Students share a common experience in school and develop a connection to universally respected values.

The Day School’s commitment to academic excellence is evident throughout the school. Small classes and innovative teaching methods create an ideal learning atmosphere. At each grade level, enthusiastic and dedicated teachers use a thematic and experiential approach, providing seamless transitions between diverse domains.

Beyond the classroom, students find many opportunities for enrichment and enjoyment. In addition to a gymnasium, the Day School campus now includes a 45,000 sq. ft. athletic field. Various after-school programs begin in senior kindergarten. A “Kid’s Klub” is run on-site by the Heller JCC and offers coverage from 3:30 until 6:00p.m, Monday-Thursday. Separate extended day options are offered for junior kindergarten students.

More than 80 faculty members partner with committed parents and seasoned administrators, creating a vibrant, student-centered learning community. Students graduate exceedingly well prepared for high school and the world beyond. The Day School cultivates confidence, problem-solving skills and leadership.
