My overall experience within SDJA has been positive, providing me a community and place of safety. Additionally, they provided me the opportunity to study my second semester of sophomore year in Israel, giving me the opportunity to learn about myself, my culture, and my rooted ethnicity.

My First Grader is happy and comfortable every day. He is challenged but nurtured. Mostly the character values are most impressive as he is developing critical life skills. It is one big family.
