Programs
Lower School
The Pre-K through 5th grade curriculum integrates Jewish learning, including acquisition of Hebrew and values-based education. Kabbalat Shabbat, daily tefillah, and holiday preparations are joyful, shared experiences where the children become familiar and comfortable with basic Hebrew vocabulary and Jewish behaviors, rituals and concepts, including mitzvot and tzedakah.
Our Lower School Program
At Golda Och Academy, we believe that education is more than just preparation for college—it is preparation for life. Our program seamlessly integrates top-tier general studies with a rich and immersive Jewish education, fostering intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and strong Jewish values.
Our warm and dynamic environment embraces students and families from a broad range of affiliations and expressions of Jewish life. Our class sizes, individualized attention, and outstanding faculty ensure that every student is known, challenged, and inspired.
Choosing Golda Och means choosing an education that is academically excellent, ethically grounded, and spiritually enriching. It means joining a community that cares deeply about each child’s growth and success. We are more than just a school, we are a home for students who will become the next generation of Jewish leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
Golda Och Academy provides a rigorous dual curriculum that nurtures both the mind and spirit, ensuring that our students excel academically while developing a deep and lasting connection to Jewish values, the Jewish people, and the State of Israel.
