It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Shlenker School.

At The Shlenker School, we provide students with an exceptional academic education, an integrated secular and Jewish curriculum, and a nurturing environment. Our students think critically, lead with confidence, and embrace Jewish values. 

The goal of our school is to ignite a “spark”—a love of learning and a passion for Jewish values and tradition—in every child. By igniting the spark during a student’s formative years, that spark develops into an eternal flame—a ner tamid—that guides our children for a lifetime. That flame shines brightly and will light them on their way into adulthood and toward a brilliant future, where they will pass on the values and traditions they learn at Shlenker from generation to generation (l’dor v’dor).  

The flame depicted in our logo, which is intended to also resemble the letter “S,” visually links Shlenker with the ner tamid and signifies a Shlenker graduate’s ongoing commitment to lifelong learning, leadership, and love of Judaism. 

I encourage you to tour our campus and feel the warmth of our incredible school for yourself.
