Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO BECOME OUTSTANDING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY THROUGH A RIGOROUS SECULAR AND JUDAIC EDUCATION, A NURTURING COMMUNITY, AND A FOUNDATION IN REFORM JUDAISM THAT WELCOMES ALL JEWISH TRADITIONS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL PREPARES STUDENTS TO BECOME OUTSTANDING MEMBERS OF (CON'T SCH O) SOCIETY THROUGH A RIGOROUS SECULAR AND JUDAIC EDUCATION, A NURTURING COMMUNITY, AND A FOUNDATION IN REFORM JUDAISM THAT WELCOMES ALL JEWISH TRADITIONS.

  • FOUNDED IN 1993, PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL IS AN INDEPENDENT DAY SCHOOL PROVIDING A DYNAMIC K-8 SECULAR AND JEWISH EDUCATION TO NEARLY 300 STUDENTS IN A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT THAT VALUES EACH CHILD'S INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS. OUR PROGRAM COMBINES A COMPREHENSIVE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM THAT ACTIVELY ENGAGES STUDENTS IN LEARNING THROUGH INQUIRY, INVESTIGATION, CREATION AND DEMONSTRATION. STUDENTS EXPLORE HEBREW, JEWISH STUDIES, MAKERSPACE, ART, SPANISH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND MUSICAL THEATRE IN ADDITION TO CORE CLASSES. OUR INCLUSIVE PARDES COMMUNITY EMBRACES STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE JEWISH BACKGROUNDS. WE IMPACT AND ENRICH OUR STUDENTS' JEWISH IDENTITIES THROUGH THE TEACHING OF JEWISH THOUGHT, CULTURE, AND RITUAL. AT PARDES, CHILDREN AREN'T JUST STUDENTS, THEY ARE ARTISTS, ATHLETES, ACTORS AND (CONT'D SCH O) MUSICIANS WHOSE TALENTS ARE NURTURED AND ENCOURAGED TO SHINE. THE RESULT IS MOTIVATED STUDENTS WHO, UPON GRADUATION, ARE ACCEPTED TO THE AREA'S FINEST HIGH SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO FOCUSING ON CONTINUING TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION, THE SCHOOL HAS SUCCESSFULLY INCORPORATED VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING CENTERED AROUND MAINTAINING A COHESIVE PARDES COMMUNITY. PARENT AND COMMUNITY RESPONSES WERE EXCEPTIONAL.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
