Life at MESA

Every day is filled with fun, learning and play.

A vibrant atmosphere that offers an immersive experience in living Judaism, where children feel known, loved and inspired.

A day at MESA

From tefillah to tournaments

Morning

Tefillah together

The day begins with tefillah, Sephardic melodies and ta’amim that students learn to lead with pride.

Mid-morning

Learning, two ways

Judaic and General Studies lessons, from Keriah and Chumash to literacy and math centers.

Midday

Lunch, included

Lunch is included in tuition, and some book-lovers even trade recess for book club.

Afternoon

Explore & create

Science, art, music, library time, enrichment and plenty of play in the multi-purpose room.

Kibbud Ab VaEm

“Shabbat shalom!” Calls to grandparents.

Every Friday, we guide our students in making meaningful Shabbat calls to their grandparents: asking questions, sharing stories and strengthening family connections.

Some families now have three siblings at MESA, which means some lucky Nonnas, Babas, Savtas, Mamans and MammaJoons get three voices in one call. Instant smiles on both ends.

School spirit

Teamwork, cheering and tons of spirit.

From our Knicks versus Spurs Championship to our World Cup Tournament, everyone gets involved. Friendly competition helps our students learn, grow and cheer each other on.

MESA families really love learning.
