Where Jewish Students Become Jewish Leaders

Innovative Education Elevated by Tradition

As the largest Jewish day school in North Florida, we nurture a love of learning that expands throughout the community.

Our school promotes the Jewish tradition of encouraging questions and curiosity from your child’s preschool years through middle school. We provide a rigorous secular and Judaic program that supports the whole student. Self-confidence grows as each individual develops higher-level critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative skills required for academic excellence alongside social and emotional programming. Tikun Olam, the concept of healing the world through our actions, guides our weekly mitzvot programs and inspires our Learning Lab, art projects, and music programming throughout the year. Laurie Preschool and Martin J. Gottlieb Day School is where Jewish students become Jewish leaders.

The Gottlieb Advantage

Studies show the benefits of bilingual education. Children who learn as part of a dual-language curriculum demonstrate increased cognitive development, better academic achievement, improved memory and enhanced executive functioning.

At Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, our students reap the full reward of an immersive bilingual environment that has them studying, singing, problem solving and playing in both English and Hebrew — not only multiplying neural connections in the brain but also connecting them to a shared cultural heritage that can help nourish and sustain their emerging Jewish identities.
