Yavneh Day School

What Yavneh Day School does

Yavneh Day School is a private, nonprofit K-8 Jewish day school located on the Levy Family Campus at 14855 Oka Road in Los Gatos, California, serving families across the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Founded in 1986, the school operates within an integrated Jewish community ecosystem that includes the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center, Jewish Family Services, and the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley, all co-located on the same campus. The school is led by a Board of Directors (Dr. Diana Wilmot, Board Chair) and a Principal, with a faculty and staff of approximately 64 employees supporting an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio. It is a designated National Blue Ribbon School (2020), accredited by the California Association of Independent Schools, and a member of Prizmah-Center for Jewish Day Schools.

The school's core offering is a K-8 academic program organized into Kindergarten (Kitah Gan), Elementary School (grades 1-5), and Middle School (grades 6-8), combining secular academics with integrated Jewish studies. Core academic products include a STEAM curriculum, a Hebrew dual-immersion program delivered by English and Hebrew-speaking co-teachers, an integrated curriculum that weaves Judaic content across subjects, dedicated Jewish studies (Tikkun Olam, Chavruta, prayer), art and music programs, and experiential learning through field trips and an 8th-grade Israel journey. Grounded-tier technology includes the FUNdations structured literacy program (added in 2023), GradeLink for enrollment and academic records, Google Calendar for scheduling, a Parent Portal, and after-school enrichment and athletics programs.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring tuition (K-8, amounts not publicly disclosed), an annual giving campaign and donations (e.g., the Yavneh Live event raised $38,348 toward a $50,000 goal), and after-school enrichment programming. The school applies a $100 non-refundable application fee and offers tuition assistance through a dedicated Tuition Assistance Committee, with rolling admissions until capacity is reached. Go-to-market is primarily community-led through referrals from current families, alumni, local synagogues, and Jewish Federation partnerships, supplemented by direct enrollment through an online portal (myschoolapp.com), open houses, and virtual tours. Corporate matching programs through major Bay Area technology employers (Adobe, Apple, Cisco, eBay, Google, Intel, Oracle) provide a supplementary funding tail. No public AI, API, or platform technology is offered; the school does not sell its curriculum or systems to external parties.
