Curiosity. Perseverance. Love of Learning.

The Educational Vision at Akiva School

Akiva School is a community K-6th school that is committed to maintaining a diverse population with regards to its socio-economic, denominational, and cultural composition. We strive to foster a love of learning that supports our children’s social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth. It is founded on helping children deepen their curiosity, morality, perseverance, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Akiva children are known for their sense of self, their ability to delve into diverse learning opportunities, and their meaningful contribution to their communities. The Akiva philosophy is predicated on the idea that we are all lifelong learners. We model what it means to ask questions, to take risks, and to fail and learn from these failures. These freedoms and responsibilities permeate the learning at Akiva. In doing so, our children develop their confidence, competence, and reflective practice. Students are empowered to understand their needs and to advocate for them as both individuals and as a community. We strive to help our children gain a rich understanding of their culture and heritage, their individual purpose, and their profound responsibility to the world. Our students become lifelong learners, leaders, and thoughtful contributors to this world.

Akiva strives to create an environment where every child is loved and nurtured and where every child recognizes his/her role in the Akiva community. We commit to these ideals so that the environment is both physically and emotionally safe so that each child can learn to his/her potential.
