School Pride Since 1944

Students brainstormed and generated many solutions for their multifunctional space and designed a scaled diagram of the Mo’adon.
The Day School originally opened its doors as the “Foundation School” when the Jacksonville Jewish Center was located in the Springfield area of the city. The Foundation School was renamed Solomon Schechter Day School before it became the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School. While the school has been renamed twice and moved once, its mission has remained the same – providing a high quality secular and Jewish education grounded in Jewish values.

From the schools inception, its graduates have gone on to serve important roles around the world. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, artists, and athletes--our alumni have left their mark in many different ways. Alumni report back that they are grateful for their education and the strong Jewish foundation they received while attending the school. Our alumni continue to practice tikkun olam and mitzvot, Jewish values they learned as students at our school. Many of our alumni now have children and grandchildren attending the school. Some of our alumni have even returned to teach in the school.
