MONTESSORI

Our Montessori-based materials and prepared classroom environment encourage exploration and foster independence for students across all levels. Autonomy during Work Time gives students a sense of ownership, deep pride in their work and a sense of accomplishment in their individual learning.

FOUR COMMITMENTS

All members of the Luria community -students, staff, and parents- are immersed in the values of the Four Commitments for Unconditional Respect: I will be Kind, I will be Curious, I will be Strong, I will Contribute. These commitments guide our interactions and provide a framework to allow us to be thoughtful citizens of our community and the world around us.

OUR STORY

Luria Academy of Brooklyn was founded in 2006 by a group of parents working to provide a sophisticated Jewish education for their children, in a progressive educational environment. They designed a school that gave children the opportunity to be their best selves as learners, friends, and members of the Jewish people--embraced fully and without judgement. Our work today remains firmly grounded in this vision.

ACADEMICS

Luria’s rigorous curriculum encourages critical and analytic thinking, academic excellence, peer cooperation, and personal responsibility. Students progress is carefully tracked based on a combination of New York State Common Core Learning Standards, LHILI Tanakh Standards, and ACTFL proficiency guidelines.

JUDAICS

Luria’s approach to Judaic studies is rooted in Jewish law and tradition and studied in a dynamic, vibrant, and judgement free environment. Our students are in constant dialogue with modern values and ideas. We give our students the tools to independently access traditional Jewish texts and the knowledge to live full Jewish lives.

THE WHOLE CHILD

At Luria, we see the whole child. We get to know who they are, how they learn, and what they need. We design learning experiences to support and challenge each child, which creates a strong framework for life-long learning, turning potential into power and growth into strength.
