From Kindergarten through the sixth grade, our schools provide a learning experience that is both challenging and fun. We believe children perform best in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity as it teaches fundamentals. Our curriculum is sensitive to the needs of the individual child yet fulfills the highest standards of a well-rounded education. Time-tested methods combine with innovative new approaches to make learning relevant to the children's experience. Self-expression and reflective thinking are encouraged, especially through the arts and performance.


Temple Israel's Day School, where a Jewish education lasts a lifetime, is dedicated to making every child's school experience an unforgettable adventure. Through a caring team of professionals, children grow academically, physically, socially and spiritually. We provide a safe and nurturing environment, small classes, individual instruction, and a value system imbued with timeless Jewish Culture.

Founded in 1989, we offer an outstanding core program of math, social studies, science, language arts and fine arts. The curriculum combines hands-on educational experience with traditional, proven academic instruction.

Like all of Temple Israel of Hollywood, our Day School is more than just a place to learn, it is a community with its own nurturing yet intellectually rigorous culture. It is a place where education combines fundamentals with Jewish values, where the whole family can become involved, and children can excel beyond their highest expectations.


A warm and friendly atmosphere embraces even the casual visitor who enters our hallways. Frequent and open communication is a hallmark of Temple Israel of Hollywood Day School, a quality that is always evident in the collaborations among the staff and between teachers and parents. Because we are a small school, all of our children come to know each other well and to regard one another as family. A weekly school newsletter is emailed to parents each Friday.  Teachers in Kindergarten and 1st grade email the parents daily. Teachers in grades 2-6 email the parent weekly.


The seeds of learning planted in our Nursery School blossom in the Day School through a fully integrated dual curriculum of general and Judaic studies. Students are welcomed into a nurturing and challenging curriculum where small student-teacher ratios are maintained in the primary years, and departmentalized teaching is introduced in fifth and sixth grades. Fundamentals of literacy, math and science are taught through creative programs that apply to everyday life and encourage children to think as well as perform. Along the way they build self-confidence and an appreciation for learning. Our library specializes in children’s literature and has general studies as well as an extensive Judaica collection. The children’s lives also are enriched through computer and science lab, as well as classes with specialists teaching art, music, physical education and dance.


Social action and performing Mitzvot are an important component of our curriculum at every grade level. In kindergarten, children collect food for SOVA to distribute to the needy. First grade students will lead the school in "The Green Team" which is responsible for the Temple wide recycling program. In second grade, they work with Home Safe children at risk. Third grade students spend time with blind children, fourth graders sell bagels to their classmates to raise money for worldwide charities, and fifth graders collect a monthly lunch from the students in all grades for the organization, PATH, which feeds the homeless in the city.  In addition, our school has supported Shoes that Fit and Jewish World Watch.  

The joy of performing before an audience is only one of the benefits of our fall school-wide pageant known as Multicultural Day. At every grade level, children learn to celebrate diversity through in-depth study of world cultures. Each class studies one country then performs dances from that culture for friends and families, and the whole school samples foods from all the countries studies.


Judaic studies are integrated into the general curriculum and Hebrew is taught as a foreign language and reinforced through Bible study and prayer.   We offer special programs that include after-school enrichment, extended-day care and summer camp.
