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.

Oak Hill Academy Celebrates a New Paradigm for Science
Plans Unveiled for the T. Boone Pickens Science Learning Center

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.
