The Bridge Between Parents, Schools and Trusted Educational Organizations
JPAS was created by Jewish parents who believe our children should never have to choose between their Jewish identity and belonging in their schools. In a moment when many families feel caught between silence and confrontation, JPAS offers a steady and constructive path forward.
We help families and schools navigate questions and concerns about Jewish identity, history, and antisemitism with expertise, evidence, and mutual respect.
Mission
The Jewish Parent Alliance in Schools (JPAS) empowers Jewish families with the knowledge, tools and community needed to address antisemitism and advance Jewish inclusion in independent schools. JPAS serves as a bridge between parents, schools and trusted educational organizations to foster constructive engagement and stronger school communities.
Vision
A future in which Jewish identity is fully included in independent schools and Jewish students feel seen, respected and represented. Jewish history, experience and the Jewish people’s historic connection to Israel are taught with accuracy, depth and nuance. Schools cultivate critical thinking, civil discourse and respect for multiple perspectives.
