Solomon Schechter Day School of Boston - Upper School
617-928-9100
For the last 50 years, Solomon Schechter Day School of Boston has offered education alongside Jewish tradition and teachings. Students from more than 30 cities and towns in greater Boston come to the school to study traditional core subjects alongside Judaic studies and Hebrew language courses. In the upper school, students at the middle school level become part of an advisory group, also called a havurah, which assists the students in building and developing various social skills.
Many of the students at Solomon Schechter Upper School come from the Solomon Schechter Lower School, located nearby at 60 Stein Circle.
The Solomon Schechter Upper School is accessible by the #52 MBTA bus, which stops about a mile away on Winchester Street.
