A path you may not have considered

As a student, you’re thinking about what comes next. You want a career that challenges you, supports you, and allows you to make a real difference.

 

Jewish Day Schools offer exactly that.

Leadership in education means influencing not just students, but entire communities. It’s a path that combines purpose, growth, and long-term impact and you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin exploring it.

 

How it starts:

  • Learn about careers in Jewish Day School leadership

  • Connect with current school leaders

  • Gain hands-on experience and mentorship

  • Explore training and leadership pathways

From student to school leader

Rabbi David Block is Head of School at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles. He knew he wanted to be in education even in high school. 

“I wanted to go into a profession that would allow me to tap into Torah more and uncover that depth.” 

He’s been a teacher, doctoral fellow, content and curriculum developer, associate head of school and now head of school.
