Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School

Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School is a community preschool and kindergarten and a Jewish day school for grades 1-8. Akiba-Schechter attracts families from throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, from Northbrook to NW Indiana, and abroad.

Akiba provides an excellent secular and Judaic education in Hyde Park to a diverse community of children from all over Chicagoland. Students study all aspects of our curriculum together in multi-aged classes. By focusing on the individual gifts and needs of each student, our students form a caring family of learners who are committed to responsible citizenship, the performance of Mitzvot, and each other.
