Goldberg Montessori School vs. Jack Segal Academy (formerly BYDS)

Goldberg Montessori School is the oldest Jewish Montessori Early Childhood/Kindergarten program in the Southwest region of the United States.

It combines a rich Judaic studies curriculum with motivational Montessori guidelines established by Maria Montessori over one hundred years ago.

Dr. Montessori believed that "the most important period of life is the first one, the period from birth to age six, for that is the time when man`s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed." Our school prides itself on providing a nurturing environment that facilitates learning.

Our school`s commitment is to honor the path of each child.

Jack Segal Academy has served as Houston`s first Jewish Day School in the Houston Community for 75 years.

We are a school designed to prepare students with the skills and foundation to excel in a more global society.

Our teachers partner together to deliver a creative, collaborative, and enriching learning experience from the beginning of each child`s education journey through their fifth-grade graduation.

We aim to create educational experiences that engage our students in an authentic quest for Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Middot (personal spiritual growth).

Take a closer look at our academic program in action, from our earliest students of 3 months old to our fifth graders, and you`ll see enthusiasm, zest, creativity, curiosity, and community spirit.

We offer small classroom sizes, excellent teachers who receive hours of professional development, student leadership opportunities, a warm and nurturing environment, a strong foundation of Jewish values, a comfortable and safe place to build confidence and character, and friendships and memories for life.
