Sandy Springs, GA – June 27, 2025 – The Epstein School, a premier private Jewish day school in Sandy Springs, GA, is setting a new standard for middle school education by integrating rigorous academics, Jewish values, and global competency in an inclusive and nurturing environment. Serving students in grades 6–8, Epstein’s Middle School program fosters academic confidence, leadership, and a strong sense of Jewish identity—all within a modern, student-centered framework.

Guided by its mission to engage minds, elevate spirits, and deepen roots, The Epstein School has become a cornerstone for families seeking both high-quality general studies and robust Jewish learning under one roof. The middle school years are a crucial bridge from childhood to adolescence, and Epstein ensures that students are equipped with the academic skills, ethical foundation, and emotional resilience they need to thrive in high school and beyond.

Dual-Language Learning Meets Academic Challenge
Epstein’s middle school curriculum is academically rigorous and intellectually engaging, designed to challenge and inspire students at every level. What sets it apart is its dual-language program in English and Hebrew—an immersive, research-backed approach that strengthens cognitive development and cultural literacy.

Core academic areas include:

STEM Integration: Epstein’s award-winning science and math programs feature lab-based inquiry, technology integration, and real-world applications, preparing students for future innovation.

Humanities with Depth: Language arts and social studies explore literature, current events, history, and Jewish texts, encouraging analytical thinking and perspective-taking.

Hebrew and Jewish Studies: Students deepen their language fluency while exploring Torah, Talmud, Jewish ethics, and Israel studies, reinforcing identity and heritage.

With small class sizes and individualized attention, students receive personalized learning pathways that include enrichment opportunities, project-based learning, and differentiated instruction. Epstein also offers advanced placement opportunities in math and language arts for eligible students.

Social-Emotional Growth and Leadership
The Epstein School understands that middle school is more than academics—it's also a time of critical emotional development. That’s why its Kesher (Connection) Program is a cornerstone of the middle school experience. Through advisory groups, mindfulness practice, and SEL (social-emotional learning) curriculum, students learn to:

Build healthy relationships

Resolve conflicts with empathy

Manage stress and peer pressure

Navigate social challenges in person and online

In addition, Epstein’s leadership and service-learning initiatives empower students to lead by example. Whether organizing mitzvah projects, mentoring younger peers, or participating in student council, Epstein middle schoolers are encouraged to use their voice and values to make a positive impact.

Jewish Identity and Global Citizenship
At Epstein, Jewish life is lived joyfully and meaningfully. The school’s commitment to pluralism means that students from a wide range of Jewish backgrounds feel welcomed and respected. Middle schoolers participate in daily tefillah (prayer), celebrate holidays, and study Jewish texts in a way that encourages questioning, connection, and pride in their heritage.

The 8th Grade Israel trip is a signature capstone experience—an immersive journey that brings classroom learning to life and strengthens bonds with the Jewish homeland. It is one of the many ways Epstein prepares students to become global citizens rooted in Jewish values.

Innovation, Technology, and Creativity
Epstein’s forward-thinking educational model embraces innovation at every turn. Middle school students benefit from:

1:1 technology integration

Digital design and coding classes

Media and communications electives

Arts, drama, and music programs

Epstein’s Innovation Studio and Makerspace offer a hands-on learning environment where students can experiment, invent, and solve problems creatively. Whether building robots, composing digital music, or creating podcasts, Epstein middle schoolers are prepared for the digital age with purpose and creativity.
