Welcome to Maayan Torah Day School
Maayan, located in Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, was founded by members of the Jewish community who recognized that a Torah day school and Jewish preschool is central to Jewish life in Portland.
​
Maayan offers values based education and inspires children to love Judaism and Mitzvot. Our rich academic program, accredited by Cognia, features academic excellence in secular studies. Maayan students are poised for future success. Maayan students have gone on to excel in their respective Jewish High Schools, Colleges, and beyond. In addition, our text driven Torah/Judaic studies program is unparalleled in the state and lays the foundation for independent Torah study.
​
Maayan Torah Day School is a member of Oregon Federation of Independent Schools (OFIS). Maayan is also an affiliate of the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools, accredited through Cognia, and is a registered 501(c)3 organization.
Our Goals
Inspire Children to Love Judaism
Maayan Torah Day School imbues your child with a lifelong love of Torah. Starting with a rich Jewish preschool experience, the relationships and experiences that we cultivate, inspire children with inner strength, resilience and a lifelong sense of purpose.
We provide a Jewish values based program that develops Middot Tovot, love of Hashem, commitment to Mitzvot, Israel, and the Jewish people.
We give children the tools to develop Torah learning text skills, which enables them to access Torah wisdom their entire lives. Most importantly, we focus on the joy and meaning found in living a life of Torah & Mitzvot.
High Student Achievement
Maayan Torah prides itself on high student achievement in both Judaic and General Studies. We develop rigor and analytic depth within our students. Our 2024 accreditation review from Cognia noted our above average strength in learning and teaching and scored us way higher than nationwide averages.
Maayan Torah has strong systems for advancing student progress through national/state standards and assessments. Our teachers provide the environment and expertise needed for students to develop analytical, evaluative and critical thinking skills.
​
Student Centered Learning Environment
​​​​​​​Maayan education promotes student engagement as the vehicle for motivating students. Students' active involvement in learning, is a key to their acquisition of knowledge at Maayan.
Our student centered philosophy recognizes the greatness of each child and what they bring to the world around them.
