History

In 1940, Rabbi Solomon Goldman of Anshe Emet Synagogue began spearheading an effort to form a progressive, private Jewish day school. During this era, most of Chicago’s Jewish students attended Chicago Public Schools. Anshe Emet Day School opened on September 16, 1946[3] with 31 students. The curriculum combined general education with Jewish values and culture, as well as Hebrew language. The school was renamed Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in 1988.

Academics

The school became a Blue Ribbon School in 1987–88.[4] The school starts Hebrew studies for students at the age of 3.[5]
