Jewish Academy of Orlando 851 North Maitland Avenue, Maitland, FL 32751

"I know my children are cared for tremendously at JAO - I really believe the teachers and administration really love and care so much about every student. This school has incredible teachers: there are some that have been there 30+ years and my children love them. Their engagement with parents is wonderful too. Individualized learning means that advanced kids can still be challenged while others can be taught slightly different material without feeling bad; really valuable asset of the school. My kids are getting a terrific education, they love school, and I really like the staff and families there."

"My kids have been at the Jewish Academy of Orlando since Kindergarten and they love it. It is a warm and loving environment where my kids are getting a great education and learning all about their Jewish heritage. I am excited that they will have a much stronger Jewish foundation than I had as a child. It is the perfect balance between Judaica, Hebrew and secular studies. I highly recommend this school for any Central Florida Jewish families regardless of whether they are Conservative or Reformed."

"If you are looking for a school that balances academic excellence and a well-round Judaics program, this is the place! The facility, parents, teachers, and students are friendly, warm, and caring. The environment is inviting, stimulating, nurturing, exciting, just stop one shabbat and you will be truly impress. Children are treated as individuals, and given the right balance of challenges and support to achieve their personal best. We are more than happy with the decision that we took 5 years ago when we moved to Orlando, Fl."

"Jewish Academy of Orlando is a private school in the Maitland area. I was excited to find the school not only because I want my kids to have a strong identity, but because of the values the school teaches, the amazing community of families that send their kids there and the education they receive there. The classes are small, and for my son that was important to me. The Director of the school knows every kid by name! Love it!"
