History

Wise School was born from a remarkable legacy that spans over 40 years.

Founded in 1977 by world-renowned educator Metuka Benjamin and visionary Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin, their goal was for every child to feel a deep and profound connection to their Judaism as well as the incredible world around them.

Today, inspired and challenged by the cutting edge resources and faculty in place, our students are holistically supported to engage in and embody experiences of limitless creativity, depth of learning, and the Wise imperative to make great happen in our lives and our world. ​
