Larry Acheatel Senior Trip to Poland-Israel Fund

To honor Larry Acheatel’s 13 years of service as Executive Director of SDJA, a special tribute fund was created to honor him for his passionate and transformative tenure which led the construction of our 56-acre pluralistic campus supporting a full spectrum of child development from infants to high school graduates. The annual senior class trip to Poland and Israel was established during Larry’s tenure and this culminating educational experience remains one of the school’s highest priorities. All contributions to this fund help with financial aid so that all members of the senior class are able to participate. The five-week trip is the pinnacle of an SDJA education and is designed to help each student personally define what it means to be Jewish.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Program

SDJA offers a rigorous high school elective called the STEM Program for exceptionally motivated and talented science students. The purpose of this program is to engage students in high-level science, technology, engineering, and math opportunities beyond the traditional high school science course curriculum. The program has sent numerous students to such prestigious events as the California State Science and Engineering Fair, Google International Science Fair, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and the Broadcom Masters International Science Fair.

SDJA School Uniform Fund

This fund supports families in their efforts to provide SDJA uniforms for their children. San Diego Jewish Academy uniforms were adopted for the Golda Meir Lower School for the 2015-16 school year. Studies have demonstrated that school uniforms result in an increase in school pride, improve a school’s sense of community, and have been shown to help younger students stay more focused in class.
