Mission
The Association's mission is to strengthen the capacity of its member schools for assuring a meaning-filled Jewish present and future for their students, their families, and the Jewish community. Primarily a service organization, the Association provides tools and resources to increase the knowledge and skill base of lay leaders and professionals in Solomon Schechter Day Schools. SSDSA strives to promote collaboration among its member schools and to foster the development of curriculum, materials, and methods for acquiring knowledge of the spiritual and ethical values of Judaism, the traditions of Judaism, the skills of Jewish living, and the performance of mitzvot.
About the SSDS Association
The Solomon Schechter Day School Association (SSDSA) is a voluntary association of Jewish day schools in the Schechter network, spanning 19 states in the USA and 2 provinces in Canada. The Association operates under the umbrella of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism's Commission on Jewish Education and is supported professionally by the United Synagogue's Department of Education. The member schools are independent and each has its own board of directors or board of trustees. However, they share an affiliation and identification with the religious philosophy, principles, beliefs and practices of the Conservative movement.
The SSDSA provides services, resources, professional development, leadership training and support to its affiliated schools and their professional and lay leaders throughout North America. We strive to promote collaboration among its member schools and to foster the development of curriculum, materials, and methods for acquiring knowledge of the spiritual and ethical values of Judaism, the traditions of Judaism, the skills of Jewish living, and the performance of mitzvoth. Through networking and sharing resources, SSDSA builds relationships among schools and offers opportunities for lay leaders and professionals to enhance their abilities to work as collaborative and successful partners.
