Primary School
at Luria Academy
A PRESCHOOOL DESIGNED FOR YOUR FAMILY,
IN A COMMUNITY WHERE YOUR FAMILY BELONGS.
Luria Primary School is a warm, joyful learning environment led by deeply experienced educators, who each bring an average of almost 15 years of preschool experience, and a total of almost 150 years of combined teaching experience, to our classrooms. Rooted in Montessori-inspired practice, our child-centered classrooms integrate General Studies, Judaic Studies, and Hebrew immersion to spark curiosity, nurture independence, and encourage children to make connections across their learning. From Shabbat celebrations and holiday gatherings, to everyday moments of learning and play, children and families become part of the vibrant Luria community.
