Mission

Hannah Senesh Community Day School is a progressive, pluralistic K-8 Jewish school in the heart of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.  Rooted in Jewish values and tradition, Senesh fosters a love of learning guided by intellectual discovery and social responsibility.  Through a challenging  curriculum, we prepare students to take on the complexities of a diverse and changing world by building critical thinking skills, independence, and empathy. Students leave Senesh grounded in  a strong sense of self and what it means to be passionate, empowered Jews and global citizens.
 
We educate our students to:
 
SEEK MEANING. We combine the traditions of Jewish inquiry and secular scholarship, and engage students in thoughtful dialogue, encouraging them to achieve their highest academic and ethical potential.
 
BUILD COMMUNITY. We strengthen community by embracing the rich mosaic of identities reflected in contemporary Jewish life. Together with our students and families, we cultivate meaningful relationships in school, the broader Jewish and local Brooklyn community, Israel and the world.
 
LEARN JOYFULLY. We approach our learning each day with curiosity, passion, and a celebration of Jewish life. We seek to educate the whole child.
