Experience Gesher

How do we inspire our students to change the world?

Junior Kindergarten

Through play-based learning activities, we create opportunities for students to explore, collaborate with peers, share discoveries, and grow as inquisitive learners.

Elementary School

We create a nurturing and innovative learning environment.

Helping out students become productive young adults.

We Grow Learners. Gesher’s technology program is designed to prepare students to use technology skillfully and safely.

We Grow Explorers. Extending the classroom well beyond our walls, Gesher students experience life and learning in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, TEVA at Pearlstone Retreat Center, Israel and more.

We Grow Vegetables. We are using our beautiful heavily wooded natural surroundings – an unparalleled large tract of land in this area – to develop “Gesher Green,” a unique, hands-on ecology-based model for Jewish learning.

Learn how you can grow with Gesher by visiting our school and learning more about what we offer.
