Schechter Boston - Lower School.

We enrolled both of our children at Schechter this past year and couldn't be happier. After his trial day, our son walked out with a huge smile, saying, "This is where I want to go to school." That moment said it all. If you're considering Schechter, reach out to their amazing admissions team and schedule a tour. The school and community have been incredible for our family!

We have had a great experience in the lower school for our child. The teachers were so warm and nurturing. He really felt comfortable in the environment and got the support he needed to be successful.

Love the school, love the community. My children have been going to Schechter Boston for 13 years, and feel very fortunate to be a part of this big family.

We absolutely love Schechter! Our daughter is so happy there, and it has been wonderful to watch her thrive both academically and personally. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a warm, supportive, and wonderful community. We can’t wait to have both of our kids at Schechter and continue being part of this special school for years to come!

We’ve been very happy with the school!

Fantastic school and community. My daughters go to school every day feeling seen and supported. The staff and faculty are amazing! Strong Jewish identity and love of being Jewish. Solid foundation for the rest of their life.

Wonderful school, supporting community and great Jewish values. This school is considered a second home to our kids and it fosters a positive, inclusive environment where all students are respected and heard.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at SSDS! Our children (Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades) are thriving in an environment that is both academically strong and deeply rooted in Jewish values. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, nurturing, and truly know each child as an individual. The curriculum is engaging and fosters both a love of learning and a strong sense of community. What really sets SSDS apart is the warm, inclusive, and supportive community. From holiday celebrations to the monthly family Shabbat singing and dancing, we feel so fortunate to be part of a place that not only prioritizes education but also instills a love for Jewish traditions and values. Our children come home excited to share what they’ve learned—whether it’s a new Hebrew song, a STEM project, or a meaningful Torah lesson. If you’re looking for a school that will nurture your child’s academic, social, and spiritual growth, we wholeheartedly recommend SSDS. It has been the best decision for our family!

We couldn't be happier at Schechter. The faculty and staff are extremely keyed in to each and every student and demonstrate their expertise through caring, warm, and supportive practices, ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed and cultivate a love of learning. The community is truly special and we feel lucky to be a part of it.

We made a last minute pivot from public school to Jewish Day School (for K) and we couldn't be happier with Schechter! The school environment is warm and nurturing, the teachers take a deep interest in the children, and the community is supportive and wonderful. While we were initially unsure of how things would go (both my husband and I went to public school and didn't have any outside experience), our oldest has been so happy that we've decided to send all of our children to Schechter!

At Schechter our kids have developed a love of learning and are growing to be thoughtful, caring individuals. We feel so fortunate to be part of this amazing community.

We've had a wonderful experience at Schechter! We're seeing our children blossom as they learn academic secular subjects alongside Hebrew and Jewish studies, and develop a love of Judaism and Israel. The teachers and staff have been amazing at supporting each of our kids individually, and the community has been warm and welcoming to our whole family!

All three my my kiddos went through the lower school. It is kind, warm, and founded in a wonderful philosophy of teaching. We have found an amazing community, here.

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Schechter Boston community! What truly sets Schechter apart is how the school nurtures every aspect of my children’s development. Not only are they receiving a high quality academic education, but Schechter encourages critical thinking, teamwork, respectful dialogue, and most importantly, kindness. Compared to other options in the area, Schechter’s larger student body creates a wide social circle, and the variety of sports and afterschool activities are robust enough to keep my kids busy and engaged every day of the week. The sense of community here is unmatched, and we feel lucky to have found our home at Schechter Boston.
