- Kehillah Jewish High School is distinguished by an exceptional academic program and a supportive environment that pairs rich traditions with the Silicon Valley mindset's best. At Kehillah, students embark on a journey of self-discovery guided by a community of passionate educators. They graduate with the knowledge, values, and community that enable them to create extraordinary futures. Our four commitments: We embrace the diversity of our student community by ensuring that every member knows that they count. Embracing our student body's diversity, we educate each student and recognize that each student has a unique learning style. Some students are strong in math, other great writers. Some students have great jump-shot, while others produce breathtaking art. Some students are gregarious, while others choose quietude. We recognize this diversity and affirm that we are the better for it. We look to our diverse community and ask each member to step up and take ownership of their learning, of their school, and their community. Our faculty is distinguished by mastery in the subjects they teach, infusing their lessons with knowledge and passion. We provide a robust curriculum in the sciences, mathematics, the humanities, world languages, and visual and performing arts. Kehillah's classroom experience includes debate, dialogue, critical inquiry, and experimentation, bringing every class to life. Each student is challenged, actively encouraged, and supported to reach his or her potential. Kehillah students have been admitted to highly selective schools such as Stanford, Brown, Columbia, and Harvard to each of the campuses of the University of California and excellent public universities, private liberal arts colleges, and art schools throughout the country. The Kehillah Advisory Program is designed to foster academic development and character education in a genuinely caring and supportive environment. Each advisory group comprises a small number of students of the same grade and one faculty member. As much as possible, these groups stay together for all four years to strengthen bonds and build a robust support system for each other. These groups connect students to extra-curricular and social programming at Kehillah as they enhance life skills, build social-emotional skills and resiliency, develop communication skills, and discover particular affinities and passions unique to each student. Advisors serve as the "go-to" adult for student support. Each advisor maintains regular communication with his or her advisees and checks in on their academic performance to best guide and advocate for their advisees. Teachers make sure advisors are aware of significant successes and challenges in the classroom that may require additional support. Advisors then take the lead in guiding their advisee's growth plan. The advisor is also the parents' first point of contact with Kehillah. View full school
