I want a school where my child can ________ .

Akiba is that school.  Whether your blank reads “get an extraordinary education,” “gain a deepened understanding of our Jewish heritage,” “develop moral character,” or simply “be loved,” Akiba answers the call for parents who seek a stellar Jewish educational experience for their child.

Grounded in a foundation that nourishes children with a balance of Torah, unparalleled education, and moral values, Akiba provides the best environment for open-minded Jewish families who want their children to become forward-thinking, engaged citizens of the world. Akiba was the first Jewish day school in Dallas and, as the only day school accredited by both NAEYC and the JECEI in the southwest, remains at the forefront of Jewish education today.

As part of Akiba’s education, knowledge of Jewish tradition and law are cornerstones. Akiba teaches ethical standards and a belief in the dignity of every human being. Of paramount importance is the teaching of Middot (values) inherent in Torah-based moral practice. 

The general studies program is just as impressive. Courses include language, science, mathematics, social studies, music, and the arts. Our campus provides students with access to innovative and cutting-edge technology, arts facilities, science labs and cultural programs. Sports and learning healthy competition are part of this balanced education as well. Akiba has a strong athletic program with championship teams in both volleyball and basketball.

We are now accepting applications for limited spaces in kindergarten through fifth grade. Please visit akibaacademy.org or call 214-295-3400.

In athletics, PCA teams compete with excellence in a variety of sports and this year earned state championships in varsity football, basketball, soccer, track and tennis. Well-known for its excellence in fine arts, PCA’s International Thespian Society (ITS) troupe won a national title, and visual arts, choir, and band students were awarded regional and state awards among private schools across the state. Of a recent PCA musical theatre performance, the Dallas Morning News wrote, “I can honestly say that I’ve never been to a better high school musical production.” Additionally, PCA offers programs distinctive to the Academy that encourage leadership development, including Future Problem Solvers and Student Leadership Institute. Students are encouraged to be servant leaders in their communities and around the world through programs such as PCA’s Minimester mission trips. The leaders of tomorrow attend PCA today.

DIS has more than 525 students in preschool through grade 12, with the high school being located on the University of Texas at Dallas campus. DIS’ primary objective is to provide an excellent education based on a French-American educational structure. Starting at the age of three academic subjects are taught in French and English enabling children to achieve fluency in both languages. Spanish instruction is the third language taught at all grade levels and Chinese becomes a language choice at the 6^th grade level. At the 9^th grade level students choose between continuing their education taught in the French language, which leads ultimately to the French Baccalaureate Diploma, or starting the English high school section, where classes are taught in English, leading to the International Baccalaureate Diploma. At the 9^th grade level, DIS is able to accept outside students into the International Baccalaureate high school section.

Our teachers are native speakers of their respective language. DIS accepts students regardless of race, religion, gender or nationality. Students receive a unique experience and understanding of cultural differences through the intermingling of the 25 different nationalities represented by the student population at DIS.

The first science curriculum designed specifically for students with learning differences is being developed at Oak Hill Academy in collaboration with the University of Texas (UTD) Science Education Department. A natural correlation exists between the way students with learning differences gather information and the way science is best experienced: hands-on, experimental and sensorial. This will form the basis of an innovative curriculum created exclusively for children who learn differently.

Plans for the T. Boone Pickens Science Learning Center include:

• Collaborate with UTD consultants and graduate students to create a Living Learning Lab, where innovative education strategies can be developed, tested and modeled.
• Integrate technology to enhance the curriculum.
• Renovate the school to accommodate classrooms, technology, lab equipment, as well curriculum specialist and graduate students.

Oak Hill Academy teachers have already begun training with Dr. Cynthia Ledbetter, Head of the Science/Mathematics Education Department at UTD. She and her graduate students will be instrumental in creating the new curriculum.
