Martin J. Gottlieb Day School

What Martin J. Gottlieb Day School does

Martin J. Gottlieb Day School is a private Jewish day school in Jacksonville, Florida, operating as part of the Jacksonville Jewish Center at 3662 Crown Point Road. It serves students from preschool through eighth grade through two integrated programs: Laurie Preschool (the early-childhood entry point) and the main K-8 day school, with 18 employees on staff and a leadership team headed by Head of School Karin Hallett. The school self-identifies as the largest Jewish day school in North Florida and delivers a dual-language English/Hebrew curriculum that integrates rigorous secular academics with Judaic studies, STEAM programming, robotics, and a Mitzvah program guided by Tikun Olam principles.

The educational product blends bilingual immersion with interdisciplinary project-based learning. Core curriculum is supported by a Learning Lab (STEAM), a Robotics Program, the EPIC support program delivered by Jewish Family and Community Services, and signature initiatives such as the student-designed Mo'adon multifunctional prayer space — developed in partnership with Ti-Tech and MIT. Underlying technology is modest and tool-based rather than platform-based: Tinkercad for 3D modeling, Turtle Blocks for coding, Google Drawing and Photoshop for digital art, Spoonflower for custom fabric printing, and the mySchoolApp platform for curriculum, calendar, and parent access. High school credit accrual in algebra, geometry, biology, and Hebrew is offered at the middle-school level, with stated outcomes of matriculation into AP, IB, and magnet high-school programs.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed. Tuition pricing is opaque; parents must contact admissions directly. Revenue appears to derive from a combination of tuition (preschool through eighth grade), auxiliary fees, and philanthropic fundraising — most visibly through the L'Dor V'Dor ('generation to generation') campaign. Go-to-market is community-driven rather than marketing-driven: direct admissions via phone and email, school tours, PTA-led engagement, and word-of-mouth/alumni referrals, with a light social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. The customer base is a single persona — Jewish families in North Florida seeking PK-8 education — served within a clearly bounded regional geography.
