Hausner at a Glance
Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School is a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 8th grade (ages 4–14) community day school that brings together children from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the school draws in students from the San Francisco South Bay Area, the Peninsula and beyond.

Hausner educates kids in the best sense of the word: scholarship but also values, how to be respectful of others, inquisitive, creative and care about your community. These are all great things to learn when you are a child, as they help being a better adult.
