About Us

JLA is committed to:
JLA seeks an outstanding faculty of all faiths who believe in and actively support the school’s mission to educate Jewish students at the highest academic levels while connecting them deeply to their heritage and faith. We are carefully creating a faculty culture that is values-driven, committed to high standards, and rooted in respect for all. Above all, we seek faculty who have a genuine love for teaching.
History Teaching Faculty
The History Department at JLA will provide students with a strong foundation in the essential subject matter of ancient, American, and World History. Additionally, students will have exposure to civics and economics in upper school. Students will eventually have the opportunity to take electives in the social sciences that might include topics such as History of the Middle East, Modern Jewish History, History of the Americas, Art History, Psychology, Economics, Sociology, and Human Geography. The focus of the history courses will be to foster critical thinking and depth over breadth. The priority is for students to make connections between countries, cultures, conflicts, and the world today, rather than memorize content. Ideally, social science classes should illuminate the connection between history and the issues of our contemporary society and should hopefully inspire students to get civically involved in their communities.
All classes will be held at an honors level with an option to pursue the same subject at an advanced level. Pedagogical approaches will include Harkness discussions and project-based learning in addition to both traditional and authentic assessments. Evidence-based writing will be a key component of history instruction.
