Located in West Orange, New Jersey, Golda Och Academy is an accredited private independent school, educating students from Pre-K through 12th grade in a flexible and caring environment that nurtures their minds and their spirits. We ground a dual academic curriculum in the culture and tenets of Conservative Judaism, while welcoming students and families from a range of synagogue affiliations and Jewish expression.
Our school is located on two campuses — one for the Lower School and one for the Upper School — located about two miles apart, just 25 minutes from New York City, serving approximately 450 students from more than 70 communities across New Jersey.
