What kind of school is Akiva?

Akiva is a private chartered school. All of our programs meet the standards set by the Ohio Department of Education, which means we are chartered by the state. It also means that we participate in the same state testing that others schools do, where Akiva Academy consistently performs well. 

What grades do you have?

Akiva Academy teaches grades Kindergarten through 8th. We provide a values driven, academically rigorous education that will meet the needs of your child. We have high standards for our students and recognize that every child is unique, with unique academic and personal requirements.

After school lets out, we offer valet pickup that is monitored by commissioned police officers, ensuring your child’s safety. There is additional afterschool care offered through the Jewish Community Center.

Do the Akiva students wear uniforms?

No, there is a school wide dress code for students.

What does the enrollment process look like?

The process begins with two visits, the first is with parents to understand the expectations and needs of the parents and the school. The second visit will provide a tour for you and your child. Space is limited, so ensure you reach out early to schedule your tour and speak with Akiva’s principal.
