Hausner at a Glance
Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School is a TK through 8th-grade (ages 4–14) community day school where students are rooted in strong academics, whole-child growth, Jewish values, and community, giving them the foundation to grow into confident, compassionate learners.
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Hausner celebrates the intersection of millennia-old wisdom and tradition with modern innovation.
The school allows us to give everything to our kids that we think is important: academic excellence, Hebrew, Jewish cultural learning and the importance of belonging and taking care of a community. We believe all these characteristics will make our children successful and better citizens of the world.
