Our Mission — מי אנחנו

Oakland Hebrew Day School is a modern Orthodox Jewish day school providing excellence in Jewish education to the entire Jewish community. Our focus is on the needs of the whole child, fostering a love of learning and a strong sense of Jewish identity.

We place equal emphasis on Judaic and general studies, helping our students develop a solid academic foundation in each. We also recognize the significance of the State of Israel and its people, as well as a sense of responsibility for their welfare.

The Middot (character) and critical thinking skills our students acquire at OHDS will serve them well as they become tomorrow’s Jewish leaders.

"The essence of the education OHDS provides is brilliantly reflected in the character and values of its students and graduates. I can't imagine a better foundation from which to grow and succeed."

Rochelle Shapell, parent of two OHDS graduates and OHDS Founding Board member
