Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Primary & Elementary Schools, Secondary & High Schools
Mission: To educate and develop students whose intellect, moral character and jewish identity provide a lifelong foundation for personal growth, commitment to the jewish people and tikkun olam--improving the world in which we live.
Programs: The emery/weiner school is an independent, college-preparatory, co-educational day school for students in grades 6-12, accredited by isas and sacs. In response to the success of the i. Weiner middle school, which has served students since 1978, and to fill a gap in the spectrum of local independent high schools, emery high school opened in 2001 with 31 students. In accordance with our mission, we accept a broad range of students, ranging from the 40th to the 99th percentile in standardized admission testing. Moreover, we offer a dual-studies curriculum that requires all students to demonstrate proficiency in hebrew, notwithstanding study of another foreign language, and requires students to take judaic studies classes. Emery/weiner is a pluralistic and progressive community day school that emphasizes commitment rather than commandment. The result is a learning partnership in which students feel a sense of ownership and, more importantly, become graduates instilled with moral self-reliance. Enrollment for fye 2017 was approximately 520 students in the sixth through the twelfth grades.
