Torah Day School vs. Jack Segal Academy (formerly BYDS)

The mission of Torah Day School is to provide and promote the highest quality Judaic and general education to a diverse community of Jewish children.

Our aim is to motivate students to reach personal excellence, and to be responsible members of American society.

Within a warm nurturing environment, our focus is to inspire a love for learning, develop academic and social skills, and foster responsibility in each individual child.

A well-balanced education will foster a commitment to using Torah values as a guide to the decisions of life, community, and life-long learning and teaching.

Torah Day School is dedicated to providing an exceptional Hebrew and Judaic studies curriculum combined with a strong elementary / middle school general studies program within a single framework.

At TDS, teachers are committed to creating a supportive learning environment which nurtures the intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of each child.

Students are part of a caring community that reaches out to others through hands-on mitzvah projects in the school, the greater community, Israel, and the world at large.

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.
