Register for the Assembly
With the complex issues at play in today's reality, Jewish day schools face unprecedented challenges. Solutions are calling for either a novel action or a new integration of available actions.
That's why PEJE has designed an unprecedented Assembly for Advancing the Jewish Day School Field. We're bringing together top-level professional and volunteer leadership from Jewish day schools, federations, foundations, funders, and central agencies for Jewish education, all deeply committed to the unique values of a Jewish day school education. Our focus will be on three critical aspects--professional leadership, board governance, and financial sustainability. We'll bring to the table case studies, renowned experts, real solutions, and laboratories for the collective development of new and novel solutions. Participants will tap into this wealth of knowledge and experience, and return home with new approaches and innovative solutions.
Learn more at our dedicated Assembly website.

Advice from PEJE Leadership Line
By using the Leadership Line, day school leaders have received helpful, actionable advice on a variety of concerns and challenges. The Leadership Line is a free, (approximately) one-hour phone call with a PEJE coach who has broad and extensive expertise. To date, school leaders have dialed in regarding topics from board development to head support/evaluation to school financial sustainability. Callers have included heads of school, board chairs, and development directors. In some cases, two or more leaders have participated—for example, a board chair plus a head of school or a support and evaluation committee. Leadership Line callers say they've appreciated the practical advice and the opportunity to bring a fresh, expert perspective back to their schools.
To arrange a call, please email the leadershipline.
