Located in West Orange, New Jersey, Golda Och Academy is an accredited private independent school, educating students from Pre-K through 12th grade in a flexible and caring environment that nurtures their minds and their spirits. In the tradition of Solomon Schechter schools, we ground a dual academic curriculum in the culture and tenets of Conservative Judaism, while welcoming students and families from a range of synagogue affiliations and Jewish expression.

Our mission is to nurture the unique potential of each student through an exceptional Jewish and general studies education.

Innovative Jewish thinkers begin their journey here. Our students explore the world through the lens of Jewish values and develop a love of learning, a personal relationship with the State of Israel and its people, and a commitment to the betterment of the world through tikkun olam.

Our school is located on two campuses — one for the Lower School and one for the Upper School — located about two miles apart in West Orange, 25 minutes from New York City, serving approximately 500 students from more than 70 communities across New Jersey.
