 Welcome
to the Solomon Schechter Academy of New London, Connecticut, a Jewish
day school offering a program of outstanding secular and Judaic studies
to students in eastern Connecticut and western Rhode Island. We are an
affiliate of the Solomon Schechter Day School Association of the United
Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, as well as a member of the
Connecticut Association of Independent Schools.Brief History of Solomon Schechter
Academy
Solomon Schechter Academy was founded in 1973 by a group of dedicated
parents and community members who believed in the need for a quality
Jewish day school in the region. They envisioned a school where children
could receive an excellent education not only in the secular disciplines
but also in Jewish history, texts, religious practice and Hebrew. While
we embrace egalitarian Conservative Judaism in matters of religious
observance, we welcome children from all Jewish backgrounds and teach
respect for all Judaic views and practices. The school started with only
six students and this year SSA will be celebrating it's 36th
anniversary.
