Capital Campaign: Vision 2020

The Academy’s growth in enrollment – topping at over 1,250 students, including hundreds of second and third generation Academy students and scores of families that relocated to Cleveland primarily because of the Academy – has resulted in serious space constraints at the school’s current facilities.

Our vision is to create a trend-setting environment that will provide the innovative Academy experience and promote our long-time goal of excellence in education. Building upon the foundations of the past, our children will be beneficiaries of an education for life – and a promising future. Chaired by Mr. Amir Jaffa, the Capital Campaign plan will enable us to accommodate our explosive growth in enrollment and provide unique opportunities unlike any other of its type in the region. A jewel is about to transform Cleveland’s Jewish community and beyond.

Phase 1 of the Capital Campaign includes the purchase of the former Oakwood Country Club and land and the renovation of the campus.

Phase 2 of the Capital Campaign includes the building of the new educational complex housing the Preschool and Boys Elementary School. The complex will be built in a beautiful park-like setting on the grounds of the Oakwood campus and feature state-of-the-art amenities, including a beis medresh, aquatic center, media center, gymnasium, indoor play area and Holocaust Memorial Gardens.
