​

JFS is a co-educational, inclusive, modern, orthodox Jewish school that strives to produce well-educated, faithful and proud Jews who will be responsible and contributing members of society.

 

Our school motto is ‘Orah Viykar’, a Hebrew expression taken from the Book of Esther meaning ‘Light and Honour’.

​

Through both their Jewish and secular experiences, JFS students are educated towards bringing light and honour to:

• ​Their families

• Their school

• Their community

• Their society

• To mankind

 

Students are encouraged to bring light and honour through their speech, their conduct, their learning and the way in which they are encouraged to contribute to the world around them. This behaviour is also expected to be modelled by both staff and parents.

 

At JFS we believe that an ethos of responsibility and giving will be the platform upon which wellbeing, success and happiness is achieved in this world.
