The Milton I. Schwartz Hebrew Academy is home to the lower school at The Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Educational Campus. The Milton I. Schwartz Hebrew Academy was established in 1988 through the generosity of Las Vegas businessman Milton I. Schwartz and others who answered a need in the Southern Nevada community for a strong secular and Judaic educational institution for elementary school-aged children.
Today, the lower school begins with preschoolers (18 months) and continues through grade 4. During these formative years, we aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment for children and families to feel a strong sense of community.
We want our students to gain a solid academic foundation and to learn how to become the moral leaders of tomorrow. We accomplish this by integrating Judaic values into our curriculum and providing child-centered classrooms that look at the individual needs of our students.
We also believe wholeheartedly in promoting healthy bodies and smart choices. Physical fitness and good nutrition are an integral part of everyday student life. It is all part of our mission – Education for Life.
Sincerely,
