Why JPAS
JPAS BUILDS PARTNERSHIP
PARENTS SEEK PREPARATION
SCHOOLS NAVIGATE COMPLEXITY
Parents Seek Preparation
Many Jewish parents want to partner constructively with their schools but are unsure how, and some worry that speaking up could affect their child within the school community. JPAS prepares parents with the knowledge, practical tools, and strategies to engage thoughtfully, effectively, and together.
JPAS Builds Partnership
JPAS prepares parents, strengthens partnerships with schools, and connects trusted educational organizations to help advance Jewish identity and belonging in private K–12 schools.
Schools Navigate Complexity
Schools are navigating increasingly complex questions about Jewish identity, antisemitism, inclusion, and belonging. Educators benefit from trusted partnerships, historical context, and practical resources that strengthen understanding and support healthy school communities.
Our Impact
JPAS creates lasting change by preparing parents, strengthening partnerships with schools, generating meaningful insights, and building a national community committed to Jewish identity and belonging.
Prepare Parents
Equip Jewish parents with the knowledge, practical tools, and strategies to engage constructively with their schools.
Strengthen Partnerships
Build trusted relationships among parents, schools, and educational organizations that support thoughtful collaboration and meaningful learning.
Build Evidence

Grow Community
Connect Jewish parents across schools and communities, transforming individual experiences into collective wisdom.
This approach has already changed schools: constructive engagement led the Ethical Culture Fieldston School to adopt the first IHRA-modeled antisemitism definition at a New York private school.
