The Shlenker School vs. Jack Segal Academy (formerly BYDS)

The Shlenker School offers programming for students from 15 months through fifth grade.

Our approach to learning includes fostering the development of the whole child through the cognitive, affective, physical, emotional and spiritual domains.

Through our developmentally appropriate preschool environment, our integrated Judaic and general studies curriculum, fine arts programs, and our state of the art facilities, The Shlenker School provides an academically excellent program for all students.

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.
