The Adelson Advantage

The Adelson School Values

Discover the Spirit of RUACH

In Hebrew, ruach means “spirit” or “breath”. Here at The Adelson School, RUACH is the spirit that drives our community. It stands for:

R - Respect for All

We believe everyone is equally deserving of respect and offer kavod (honor and respect) to all accordingly.

U - Understanding Differences

We encourage dialogue across difference, teaching students to ask questions and seek understanding.

A - Academic Excellence

Our students develop a work ethic that drives them to exceed standards in pursuit of personal, self-defined goals.

C - Connection in Community

Staff, faculty, students and parent-guardians at Adelson share a commitment to partner with one another. Our interconnectedness creates more than a strong academic environment. It gives our students a sense of safety and belonging.

H - Honoring Judaism

Finally, we embrace the exploration of universal, humanistic values through the lens of Jewish tradition and ethos.

The world rests on three things: justice, truth, and peace.

Ethics of the Fathers 1:18
