Federation Wants to Hear From You: Jewish Day School Survey

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation, in partnership with local Jewish day schools, is exploring the feasibility of launching a new Jewish community (pluralistic) middle and high school, and we want to hear from you. According to Jewish Miami: A 2024 Community Study, the number of Jewish children in Miami has increased 13 percent since 2014, and day school enrollment is nearly four times the national average. To further gauge interest and understand the key factors parents consider, Federation has engaged Independent School Management (ISM), the largest consulting firm serving private independent schools in North America, to conduct a community-wide survey to determine how likely families are to support a new Jewish middle and high school. We strongly encourage any interested family to complete this important survey, accessible here, before the deadline of Tuesday, September 9. Thank you for your help in this vital community matter.
