Welcome to The Rashi School
The Rashi School is known for its outstanding curriculum and instruction. But it’s our identity as a Jewish school that sets us apart: the value of education, exploration, and curiosity is embedded in our culture. We live our values everyday at school—and they reflect the ones you teach your child at home.
