RAISING THINKERS. SHAPING LEADERS.
Give your child every advantage
Welcome to Zucker Jewish Academy of Miami, a preparatory school where rigorous academics merge with foundational Jewish values and a deep sense of community.
ABOUT ZJA OF MIAMI
Where bright minds flourish
Zucker Jewish Academy of Miami offers serious, evidence-based academics for families who want their children to stretch, grow, and excel.
Our Miami community was founded by a dedicated group of Jewish parents with a shared vision: a school where Academic excellence and Jewish education strengthen each other. That founding spirit lives in everything we do.
At Zucker, every child is seen, supported, and guided to become their strongest, most confident self. We embrace families as partners and bring Jewish heritage to life — with connection, curiosity, and belonging. Here, your child is set on a path to success, enveloped in a warm, supportive environment with every resource they need to flourish — in the classroom, in the community, and for life.
THE ZUCKER DIFFERENCE
Academics. Warmth. Identity.
Dedicated teachers
Our expertly trained, deeply committed faculty maintain high classroom standards while giving each student the attention and care they need.
Intellectual Exploration
Experiential projects and hands-on activities bring concepts to life, fostering deep understanding and an abiding love for learning.
Jewish Identity
Jewish tradition and values are woven into the curriculum — from character development to Hebrew language skills to a lifelong love of Israel.
Whole-child approach
Every part of your child — intellect, character, creativity, and Jewish identity — is nurtured alongside their physical and emotional well-being. From mindful movement and yoga to Krav Maga and kosher organic lunches, we invest in the whole person.
I love being a part of the MJA family! There is no other school like it in South Florida. Being a small class school makes it like a big family, and Eti truly cares about the kids and listens to the parents. The mix of strong academics and strong Torah values is wonderful. I love that the school also cares about the socio-emotional development of the children, as well as teaching them about health and other thought provoking classes like Chess, Entrepreneurship and Mindfulness. Thank you MJA for everything you do! I hope we can continue to grow into Middle School and beyond!

At MJA, we found exactly what we were looking for: a school that shares our values as yehudim, where the children feel comfortable and are guided by teachers who teach with love, respect, and dedication. It is the ideal place for our children to grow and develop in a warm and caring environment. We are tremendously grateful to Eti for her incredible commitment and dedication. ❤️❤️❤️

Miami Jewish Academy is a school that truly cares about my children. Over these past two years, I’ve seen them grow in every way — especially in how they navigate friendships, feel secure, and build confidence. Morah Eti cares deeply and passionately about the well-being of both students and teachers. MJA has created a warm, value-driven, and inclusive environment filled with love. I hope to see Miami Jewish Academy continue to grow — all the way through high school.

My daughter truly enjoys going to MJA. Every day she comes home excited about what she learned and proud of her growth. The school provides a warm and comfortable environment where she feels supported, motivated, and happy. I also have an older daughter who graduated from MJA and was able to get into an excellent middle school — a clear reflection of the school’s strong academic and personal development foundation. That’s why I continue choosing MJA with full confidence.
I deeply appreciate how MJA integrates Torah learning and Jewish values into daily education, creating the perfect balance between academics, character building, and community. As a parent, it’s a privilege to see my daughters learning, growing, and connecting with their identity in such a positive environment.
We are truly grateful to be part of the MJA family!

When we first moved to Florida, our vision was to find a school that cared for our children’s souls. We wanted more than academics and grades. We hoped for a place that was holistic and valued every part of their humanity.
We are deeply grateful that we found MJA. Children’s lives do not begin when they turn eighteen. Their lives are happening right now. We believe that school should be a place where they enjoy their days and feel truly happy. MJA cared for our children’s emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. Whenever our children faced challenges, Eti and the staff reached out to us immediately to think together about how to support them while still allowing them to grow, build resilience, and learn to trust themselves.
We are grateful that MJA taught our children gardening, emotional awareness, friendship, and a love for learning.
When our children moved on to a different school for middle school, they told me they felt like they were leaving their home. What a gift that is. To know that every day they walked into school, they felt at home. And even now, while they are in a new school, they still feel that MJA is their home.
My hope for MJA is that it continues to grow. I hope more people recognize the gift this school gives to every child who walks through its doors. Love, attention, dedication. Each child is nurtured and nourished.
