Nigri Jewish Online School

What Nigri Jewish Online School does

Nigri Jewish Online School (JOS) is a private online K-12 Jewish education provider founded in 2006 and operated by the Shluchim Office, the Chabad-Lubavitch organizational support entity established at the Lubavitcher Rebbe's direction. The school delivers live, real-time instruction via Zoom to families worldwide, with a primary mission of serving Chabad Shluchim (emissary) families who lack access to local Jewish schools in remote postings, as well as homeschool, public school, and military families. The school is WASC-accredited and headquartered at 816 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY, with a secondary tech support office also in Brooklyn, and serves families across the US, Canada, Spain, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, and additional international locations.

The platform is built on a three-portal architecture — separate logins for students, parents, and teachers — supporting gradebook, attendance, schedules, report cards, and homework. The curriculum spans Day School (4 days/week), After School (2 days/week), Hebrew School (1 day/week), Immersive Hebrew (Ivrit B'Ivrit), Bar/Bat Mitzvah Discovery, Custom Classes & Tutoring, and since 2022 a General Studies department covering Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies for K-8. Specialized programs include Cheder Chabad (Chassidus instruction) and Tefillah Club (prayer instruction in Nusach Ari and Nusach Ashkenaz). Technology integrations are limited to Zoom for live delivery, Kahoot for interactive quizzes, and Google Maps for geography lessons. The school reached its first high school graduate in 2024.

The school operates as a direct-to-consumer subscription business with tiered family registration fees ($99 Early Bird, $149 Regular, $199 Late) plus recurring tuition, and a 10% discount for military families. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no funding rounds or venture capital investments indicated; the school is governed by an advisory Vaad and operates as part of the broader Chabad-Lubavitch educational network. Marketing relies on organic channels — website, blog, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp — word-of-mouth referrals, and selective community event participation. With approximately 12 employees on staff and "thousands of families" claimed to be served, the organization is a small, niche, mission-driven operation rather than a scaled commercial enterprise.
