Montessori Education. Missions Statement: "Guide each child on an individual path." Proverbs 22.6 At Luria, each child learns to think, observe, and reflect in their own way. Instead of teaching the correct answers, we teach our children to ask the right questions, leading them to discover the answers for themselves. Ours is a nurturing, child-centered environment dedicated to academic excellence and a sophisticated knowledge of Jewish text and Jewish tradition. Above all, Luria fosters Jewish pride - Ahavat Yisrael - and a deep sense of compassion and commitment for all mankind - Ahavat Olam.
