Founded in 1997, Austin Jewish Academy is a 100-student, K-8, co-ed, pluralistic Jewish Day School located on the beautiful 40-acre campus of the Dell Jewish Community Center and in partnership with Shalom Austin. Our graduates attend top colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, UT Austin, Rice, Duke, and many others. Through Project-Based Learning, timeless Jewish values, and a tight-knit community, AJA prepares and inspires students to transform the world.

Guided by exceptional faculty, students at AJA develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration skills, executive functioning, and agency over their learning through real-world projects ranging from entrepreneurial Market Days to Space Musicals! A robust Judaic and Hebrew Studies program helps students develop a strong moral compass for a meaningful life and for navigating through uncertainty. And through קהילה קדושה (kehillah kedosha) — our sacred community — students develop a deep connection and sense of belonging.
