Politz is a Jewish Day School serving the South Jersey community. Our mission is to imbue our students with Torah values and a love of learning to prepare them academically, spiritually, and professionally for success in the modern world. We teach our students character development, love of Hashem, service to community, and a deep connection to the State of Israel in a joyful and nurturing environment.
Core Values
IMPARTING TORAH VALUES IN ALL THAT WE DO
We foster and inspire a personal relationship with Hashem. We instill in our students an understanding and appreciation of Hashem’s presence in the world and a desire to sanctify our lives and develop a relationship with Him through tefillah and the daily study and practice of Torah and mitzvot.
We instill positive Middot and Derech Eretz throughout our school community
We promote achdut within and beyond our school community. We help our students learn the art of interacting with others in a way that befits B’nei and B’not Torah, with camaraderie, kindness, and diversity of thought. We model and enforce a high standard of conduct that is respectful, dignified, just, and kind to all. We use our study of Torah as a lens through which we understand the value of all individuals and the world around us.
We cultivate a deep connection to Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael, and Medinat Yisrael. We instill in our students the ideal of Kedushat Yisrael. We convey our individual and collective responsibility to participate in the support, growth, and development of Am Yisrael throughout the world with a special focus on the past and present connection to our people and our Jewish homeland, the State of Israel.
GUIDING OUR STUDENTS TO SUCCESS
We respect each student’s individuality.
We practice Chanoch L’naar Al Pi Darcho, educating each child according to his/her way. We recognize the individuality of every student and provide opportunities for each child to grow and thrive according to his/her own needs and potential. We provide a safe and welcoming environment for our students and partner with families to nurture the whole child together.
We provide a challenging & creative academic program in both Judaic and general studies. We cultivate an environment of academic excellence built upon a vibrant, consistent, data-driven curriculum. We challenge our students with opportunities to analyze, create, and pursue intellectual challenges across Judaic and general subjects, including Hebrew language.
We empower students to achieve personal excellence by teaching them how to learn and inspiring them to become lifelong learners.
We prepare our students for Jewish life in a modern world.
We prepare our students to navigate and excel in the modern world while remaining rooted in our Jewish values. We provide responsible access to technology (digital learning, STEM) and exposure to the creative arts (literature, art, music, drama) and athletics that help students embrace their own G-d given abilities and creative potential. Understanding that they will be entrusted with our future, we encourage them to take responsibility as future leaders — to build community, give tzedakah, serve as role models, and reach personal impactful goals.
