You Belong Here.
Pathways to Gann

At Gann Academy we welcome students from all Jewish backgrounds. Whether you have always been in Jewish Day School or have never stepped foot in one, you belong here. Approximately half of our students come from independent and public schools, with many experiencing formal Jewish education for the first time.

Public School

Many families from public school explore Gann because they want something more personal, more relational with Jewish values, and more responsive to who their child is and how they learn best.

Families applying to Gann from independent schools want a high school that continues the academic strength, creativity and close relationships they are familiar with at their current school, while also adding a meaningful Jewish dimension.

Students from Jewish day schools choose Gann to continue their Jewish journey while pursuing rigorous academics and preparing for college and beyond.
