Saul Mirowitz Jewish Community School is a pluralistic Jewish independent school for children kindergarten through middle school. We offer a fully integrated general and Jewish studies curriculum that stimulates young minds, inspiring students to become independent thinkers, creative learners, and proud, knowledgeable and compassionate Jews.

DEI Philosophy Statement

At Mirowitz, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are deeply rooted in our work as Jewish educators. Our tradition teaches us the value of kavod habriyot, respect for the sacred diversity of all of God’s creations. Our core Jewish values of kavod (respect), hakarat hatov (recognition of the good), limmud (learning), and tikkun (commitment to repair) guide our work in building empathy, promoting sacred diversity of identities, and both studying and committing ourselves to the repair of social inequities that have historically stemmed from these differences.

We believe in the dignity and worth of every person regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, ability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, socioeconomic status, or any other individual characteristic.

All positions require a love of children, a respect for Jewish pluralism, a personal devotion to life-long learning and a commitment to working as a team player for the benefit of the entire school.
