Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School is a TK-8 educational institution in Palo Alto, California, situated in the Silicon Valley. The school pursues academic excellence alongside community responsibility and vibrant Jewish life, underpinned by a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and project-based learning, with an integrated approach to STEM. Hebrew language instruction and Jewish Studies are part of the program, which also includes sports, music, and art, and emphasizes smaller class sizes and social-emotional development. The school serves Jewish families seeking an inclusive community that reflects the diversity of American Jewish life, welcoming traditions from across the spectrum. It emphasizes respect, compassion, and Tikun Olam, offering a safe environment where students can develop ethical voices and take action in their community. A recent development is the January 2026 launch of a Shinshinim program that expands Israeli cultural presence on campus.
